I'd like Hot Shoppe to do some other oldschool replica race shirts, so we could buy 'oldschool' race tops which we might actualy fit into :D The only ones I ever see coming up on fleabay are kids sizes. And some retro styled Haro & JT race pants would be cool too. I agree with some people that 100% faithful copies would always allow some dodgy ebay geezers to try and pass it off as the real deal and run the risk of lowering values of 'real' parts due to the associated confusion and waryness of buyers but, as with the Skyway T/A reissue, I can also see how great it would be for some parts to make a comeback, just as long as there was some clear way of identifying it as modern, so it couldn't be passed off as genuine 70's/80's parts.
The Hutch aerospeed arms are a case in point. Kappa were doing some excellent replicas which used a standard 19mm Profile spindle. I wouldn't care a bit if they decided to have 'Kappa' etched on the back of the arms, just in case some moron thought Hutch used to sell their cranks with 19mm Profile spindles :uglystupid2:. It would mean some of us, who either don't have £2k to spend on genuine Hutch cranks or wouldn't spend £2k on cranks even if we did have it, could have the stunning looks of the old part with newschool reliability and cheaper costs.
For those who want real genuine oldcshool parts, then buying 'snide' or newschool replica parts, will never be a serious option, but to a lot of others it really isn't that much of an issue if it means that oldschool build can get finished at last. To some people they're only wanting their bikes to have the look and feel of their old bike, evoking memories of their bmxing youth, and it's not such a priority keeping it 100% authentic.

On a more serious note, I'd like to see the 3-wheeled disabled carriages, made by AC Cars, making a comeback. Hell, they even come in SE baby blue ;D
