This is the age of .... Repop!!!
deeman:
Seems to be the age of the rip off if you ask me.....seem to be more and more 'iffy' ads about.
Take this one for instance...'unstamped' LG forks rechromed and up for silly money. I reckon they are just new ones with the stamp filed out and rechromed....I could be wrong

The only issue i have with repo stuff is some of it is as expensive as old bmx stuff .i mean 88 masters frames and forks are £450 .who in there right mind is going to pay that for a repo frame ,i know the original`s go for more but cmon it`s a repo not 29 year old frame .
i bought a few bits but it`s like buying a fake rolex you know its fake and always want the original and will bother you till you get a original ,not that i can afford a rolex :LolLolLolLol:

I know how you’re feeling Rob ... I’m struggling myself (hence the delay of whether to do the GS Burner.. part of me wants to .. badly .. but I need the love to come back first )

I've only had a quick look but they look like original to me as the 3 short welds are there on the inside of dropouts and the weep holes at the bottom.
I think the new LG forks have a continual weld attaching the dropout to the fork leg on inside and outside
