Manufacturers remaking old school parts/frames etc...
RATTY:
Its a good idea as lond as the market dont get flooded, and he repop parts are marked as such....
Have you tried to get a pair of redline proline forks ffs??? or comp2s. It would damage the value of some stuff, but if the real companies dont, some 2bob in India or China will

but if somebody said to you i have a set of proline forks for £50 they are made in the same factory same people same jig same material but i made them yesterday not 20 years ago would you care
RATTY:
Exactly!!!!!!!!
Unless I have 10 pairs stashed away which I paid £5 each for and was gonna sell for £150 each :shocked:
Tefore:
i think it would be a bad thing. all this " retro " thing makes my blood boil. its like these new skyways dress it up as much as you like but its new school for feks sake they even date it :LolLolLolLol:. sorry i just hate all this remake crap
Trev:
i think it would spoil the magic of seeing a built up old school bike. i don't build em up myself (yet), but i'm sure a lot of the fun is hunting around and finding the parts. i can't see it being that much fun if you can buy everything readily...
i mean if you look at classic cars, would collectors buy a brand new "classic" car....
also would the parts be exactly the same? i.e. still weak in comparison to new technology? or would parts that were known to be fairly flimsy be strengthened? would the vincent air zone be made stronger?
