No way have they put the guts on upside down, it's to get a little extra seat height I reckon ;)
As they say 'school boy error'

Alan needs to have a word with his staff and thrash them with a sock full of shat.

Say's it's an 87 in the description and to add £200 if you want it with spokes instead of Skyways. ???

Ouch. So it's entirely repop apart from the f&f? Better buying one of the new ones for half that price.

and tell them to stop using a polishing wheel to fetch rust off

glad this has cropped up , didn't want to be the one to take the lid off the worm can,
simple misatakes can a do get made even by the those considdered amongst the best / most experianced builders,
it's not just this one, most, if not all these repops for want of a better word, if it were a U.S. car show it'd be Mo-par, (fookin hate using both of these terms :tickedoff:) have the same consitant anoying little things ,
start with the axles on the new tuffs and get more annoyed from there on....... for a grand plus i'd expect the axles to be macined down a bit , ffs..............., hacksaw em off and marker pen the ends at the very least :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :LolLolLolLol:
yes yes i know it's probably so you can run pegs on em but old tuffs wern't like it
'no probs with Alans doing this at all , aside from some of the prices , but if people buy em they're going to kepp turning them out , just business i suppose , but yes i agree with Retro, it's not like Alan is new to this , he needs to have a word with who ever is doing these
Alan Woods is not a greedy man, he's a businessman and the old school revival has landed on his lap just at the right time. I'm guessing that business has been a lot more lucrative for him in the last few years than say the late 90's - mid 00's, and as more and more OS manufacturers start making more and more OS repop parts then he'd be a fool to miss that boat. But a few simple lessons to his crew in how to build a bike and what it needs to look like would help protect his very good reputation and business.
