Hutch Aerospeed and Hutch Beartrap advice!
FuNMoNsTeR:
There is a difference between faking and repro-ing. Collectors/enthusiasts from all genres repro parts that are either obsolete/unobtainable or too expensive for their budget, or have them made by a third party.
Fakers copy original parts/things to pass them off as the real thing for finacial gain..... Fakers will make stuff wherever there is £££ and will always be a problem.
The price and scarcity of Aerospeeds means that some people will need to source alternatives to re-create the look they want. Like i said before... i have no probs with quality reproing as long as it is date marked. Just my opinion :)
At the end of the day when buying, its like every other area of Antiques and collectables.... Do your homework, buy from a reputable seller, view and handle the goods if you can prior to purchasing, ask questions, seek advice if you need to. :daumenhoch:

when your mates will shaft you then sky's the limit i say. But even having one made is like sewing your own lacoste badge on a matalan jacket.

Anyway lads, never mind i am crap at English, if you haven't noticed. so don't fall out! :smitten: i saw some 9/16 bits that go into the pedals ( spindles) i call them, not been the game for 25 years. Any way they were about £ 150.00. i would have thought that 1/2 inch ones would be cheaper, as to weather its worth it, it depends on how much you want them and how the overall crank etc is worth. hopefully i have the right end of the stick.
