Replicating Old School Parts ? Lets talk !!
Gashead:
I took my Curtis to a bike builder in Bristol as I had a problem with the fork treads a while back - turned out they used to make Gen 1's for a Bikology in Bristol - know one new the difference - still got all the drawings and tubes etc !

you could do anything , and in my opinion lots of parts you all think are NOS are repro,or remade from the same moulds recently
its going to all be about providence.
I know what I have is real as i know its history and its providence, and i know what other people have may be suspect , Deep H stems are done ,aerospeeds, i think et seats and elinas .hutch seatclamps done already.
so buyer beware and check your facts and look at real examples of stuff
if a set of pedals are worth 500 quid , and to make them in the far east costs 5 quid ,its going to happen
