Say's it's an 87 in the description and to add £200 if you want it with spokes instead of Skyways. ???

Ouch. So it's entirely repop apart from the f&f? Better buying one of the new ones for half that price.

simple misatakes can a do get made even by the those considdered amongst the best / most experianced  builders, 

 it's not just this one,   most, if not all these repops for want of a better word, if it were a U.S.  car show it'd be Mo-par,  (fookin hate using both of these terms :tickedoff:)   have the same consitant anoying little things ,   

start with the axles on the new tuffs and get more annoyed from there on.......    for a grand plus i'd expect the axles to be macined down a bit ,     ffs..............., hacksaw em off and marker pen the ends at the very least  :tickedoff: :tickedoff:  :LolLolLolLol:

 yes yes i know it's probably so you can run pegs on em  but old tuffs wern't like it 

'no probs with Alans doing this at all , aside from some of the prices , but if people buy em they're going to kepp turning them out , just business i suppose ,   but yes i agree with Retro, it's not like Alan is new to this , he needs to have a word with who ever is doing these

Alan Woods is not a greedy man, he's a businessman and the old school revival has landed on his lap just at the right time. I'm guessing that business has been a lot more lucrative for him in the last few years than say the late 90's - mid 00's, and as more and more OS manufacturers start making more and more OS repop parts then he'd be a fool to miss that boat. But a few simple lessons to his crew in how to build a bike and what it needs to look like would help protect his very good reputation and business.

i agree once again  :daumenhoch:
