80s or a con?

GavinKent:
I'm still trying to work out where all this new 80s stock has come from and where it was all stored all those years.  Take my Aero Reflex, which is supposedly 1984ish - how do we know the same moulds aren't used now to make these frames, to then be marketed as original 80s stock - and loads of other stuff that we all want?  It seems a very easy thing to do, and when there is money to be made, there are usually people out there rushing to rip us off.
