Wht brand we can Repro ....Skyway , Kuwi , Diamond Back , GT , Redline , CW , VDC , National Pro ...
which brand ..we cannot repro ...

On a strictly legal side of things you'd probably have a problem reproducing any Branded padsets.
Its kind of unspoken that I you make a set for yourself and perhaps another for a mate then most big companies won't come after you.
The be all and end all of it is - If you do it to on a large scale to make a profit you'll upset someone on the way and you'll get busted.
people do and have been closed down (1st stage is a letter from the lawers) most people don't push it any further than that.
Besides - there's no real need to bang out thousands of padsets - Its all part of the fun looking for them.

cw is now owned by bmx addicts i think so best be careful there, not sure skyway would let copies go a miss anyway.
-
Someone got shitty with S&M last year about them using the CW logo on the Cameron Wood frames, guess it was juan then!
-
Skyway , is owned colourtuff.com , but i saw one Australia guy got repro skyway padset , wht i get information is below this brand cannot repro ..
gt, hutch, skyway, cw, schwinn, mongoose, for sure .... :)
-
I got threatened with a lawsuit from SBS (Seattle Bike Supply), who own Redline for reproducing Redline decals... but that was because mine were 100% accurate and theres are all 100% Poo Plop!

I don't think Ed owns Skyway, he just sells there BMX stuff :-\

it's very difficult to make a case against you for reproducing decals and pad sets.
-
is there anyone on rad who can make repop pads sets? im after a few for some special builds.. ::)
-
Its not illegal if you dont get caught ::) :daumenhoch:
-
there is nothing wrong with someone making padsets, then you putting your own decals on...
-
just imagine if there was someone out there that could reproduce quality padsets ::)

Where are we going with this. If the original manufacturers were still available and making the Pads and decals there would be no requirements to get repop pads and decals. Seems very leeding to try and hang some people. Let's try and re-phrase your question and see what you are trying to achieve :tickedoff:
I am not sure where this topic is going??? LMK :daumenhoch:

I don't think so , I thought everyone gets their padsets on Ebay
-
I meet a man in service stations and exchange money for products :coolsmiley:
Ssssssshhhhhhh
You ain't seen me
-
Who is Devil Frankie ? some hoaxer ?
some ex member ?
As Bretty said , " Where are you going with this ?"
-
coloured tuffs dont own skyway mate. he just sells a lot of there stuff. skyway had 100000's of padsets left over from the 80's i bought 750 sets a few years back the ones he sells are still excess stock
-

I don't think Frankie is a secret agent specialising in industrial espionage looking for elusive pad set counterfeiters :-\
He's an os bmxer from malaysia and I think he's looking for a padset for his mate :daumenhoch:
-
Yes, i is looking for repro padset for myself only , and i not a secret agent specialising in industrial , i is collecter bmx ... ;D
-
Sounds like Ali G to me ::)
Ebay is your best bet ,
You're an international BMX collector and you say " you've no idea" where to get a padset from
If you were really from the far east ( THE land of counterfeit and reproduction ) you could probably have your neighbour to make repro Aerospeeds neveermind a padset ::),,, come on
You're trying to find if anyone if anyone is doing anything "ILLEGAL" as you put it
Before now I've only ever seen someone put Wanted : can some one do me a GT padset or decal
Not start a thread about "if your reproducing padsets by Skyway , CW , Hutch, etc you are breaking the law , you know
so who's doing them on here ?"
-
i think frankie's thought was to find out which firms will or won't pursue legal actions, when they find their padsets are reproduced. .....implying that the repros of the more permissive firms' sets could be considered "legal". This implication being very touchy --not the least as one never knows how these firms might act in the future.
So maybe it's best just to ask for the decals/padset you're looking for --and let the rest happen naturally.
