Hutch Aerospeed and Hutch Beartrap advice!
Bigplinky:
Have a look at Crupi spindles they fit Hutch pedals and look almost identical (apart from Crupi machining is far better than Hutch :LolLolLolLol:)
jT Racing:
what's the point of building an old school bike and sourceing rare parts if you're gonna put some repro piece of shit on it as well. If you can't be bothered to look for the original or wait for the original or afford the original then use something else. The more that tossers start reproing the best gear the more these bits will get passed off as the real deal on e-bay or bastardised to cover up their repro roots and undermine the real parts. Better a real part than some repop.
Decals make sense because the adorn a REAL frame and take nothing away from it's authenticity. Too many people looking for a 'quick fix', it's not like restoring a car and having a part made, these parts on bmx's were products in thier own rights and it's either a FAKE or genuine, call it repop, retro or homage it's still a fake piece of shit and does nothing for this hobby. It's like snide designer gear, it's shit and for pretenders. If you love BMX and especially Old school, you won't want it being a sea of fake crap that makes buying them special parts a minefield of repop shit dodgeing. If you don't give a fook that it's new, just put a new part on and don't pretend it's the real deal. It's bad enough seeing a perfectly good original finish being stripped and lost for ever for a colour change that never exsisted on that frameset. Why not get a fooked up one and re-finish that, the original finishes that survive are part of bmx history and can't ever be replaced.
IMHO getting a part at any cost doesn't mean trying to cheat the system. I can't afford aerospeeds, if i could i wouldn't pay that anyway but to fake them would make me a fake as well. No thanks.

Hey JT, did you read the post? I can't see where it says anything about getting repops made other than Munners got the BB off a guy that maybe had some made. Maybe I missed that bit :-\.
jT Racing:
not talking about munners, talking about fakes.
