Title: Nikyo Headsets, Who Uses Them??
Post by: Retrodan72 on January 13, 2013, 07:02 PM
Do any of you guys use these on your builds? I've got them on 4 of my builds, and I think they're spot on for the money.

What do you fellas think? ???

Repop's !!!
Grips, bb's, headsets, tyres, seats, brake cables, pedals.
Does it really matter that much ?  :)

Don't all shout at once ! :tickedoff:

As Nick will confirm, most of the parts on my bikes are repop.

I could build just one bike with all og top end bits, but I would rather have a collection of bikes. Besides, all my bikes get ridden, I wouldn't be able to enjoy it as much if I was worrying all the time about my £120 seat, £100 tyres or £300 cranks etc, especially if they decide to dive off the roof of my mates motor. ::)

As long as the part in question is made in exactly the same way as the old parts, and my bike will look era correct, I don't care. :daumenhoch:

It's a hobby that you're meant to enjoy, add strict rules and it becomes a dictatorship  :daumenhoch:

It's whatever you want it to be, some of us go to bed thinking about how a part will benefit a bikes ride, others simply how it will look on the build. Although I'm sure we like the nod of approval or appreciation from others, personally speaking most of my bike thoughts bounce around in my own mind in my personal space for 99% of the time - that's what I want to keep happy.
