Post by: brass monkey! on May 08, 2007, 09:47 PM: hmm, looking at that oddangle frameset, it was probably a steal at 203 quid???

i think the guy has replicated a lot of stuff with his own touch to it... 8)

This is an old chestnut, he does clearly mark his stuff as repro's but some think not clearly enough ::). The over pond stick is because "they" think only "they" should be allowed to repop/repro stuff and someone else doing it is a no no ::).
