I know Gary (aka Johnny Chopper) really well, he's a really nice bloke. Very honest and passionate about BMXing. He used to ride for the Aussie Skyway team with his brother back in the early 80's.

He makes some very nice repro parts, including Skyway Race Bars (I have a pair of these and they are great quality), which subsequently got him banned from VBMX.

heres a link to his website

hoping to order a Torker Cruiser Repro from him this year 8)

Sure he was well gutted about that.
