Manufacturers remaking old school parts/frames etc...

(1/5) > >>

MartyC:
Just read a thread on VBMX about the question from Todd Lyons about SE remaking Landing Gear forks.  This got me thinking, what would be the general feeling if manufacturers started making some of the old school gear again?  Imagine if Dia Compe started making MX1000's again, Shimano the DX or Tioga made the Comp II and III's with the original labels, Pro Neck & Tuf Neck did their stems, chainrings and stuff.  Torker, Redline, Diamond Back and some of the others that are still around all made an old school frame and fork combo with 1" headtube and caliper brakes.

I don't recall seeing a thread on this before so would this be good or bad?  Would it allow people to build the bike of their dreams more easily or would it "kill" the collecting market dead?

selfpreservation:
sounds cool to me as long as they were exactly the same dont know if it would be that cheap today though

theRuler:
it'd be good for me
i aint paying the high prices for stuff
just can't afford to

LXIX:
BAD ,parts people paid alot of money for would drop , just imagine the losses thats wat happened recently with oackley grips they reproduced and the bay was full of them for cheap and getting cheeper everybody trying to sell b4 they hit the shops

gt0733:
it would be cool but to have a complete bike built with genuine 70's/80's components is even cooler. the best bit is actually riding without fear of hurting/scratching components that you've just donated a kidney to fund.
