QUADROPHENIA · « **Reply #1 on:** February 04, 2008, 04:02 PM »

The sooner the better for me as I'm fooked if I'm paying the current price they are at nowadays.

Yes I know I'm a tight northern b@stard but come on, it's a plastic seat FFS!

Zippy · « **Reply #7 on:** February 04, 2008, 04:49 PM »

I've no idea on price or availablity I'm afraid

Swivel · « **Reply #8 on:** February 04, 2008, 04:49 PM »

Nice but are they going to do White and Black ones?

Zippy · « **Reply #9 on:** February 04, 2008, 04:54 PM »

That would be sweet if they did.

I'd be after a couple of white ones if they did.

Then I could sell my original red and blue ones.

I've just looked on a Japanese website selling them for 4250 yen - £20. They just had the colours in Zippy's pics, no black or white though....

jackel · « **Reply #11 on:** February 04, 2008, 05:08 PM »

ive got a gorgeous near nos white one but its got sun scorch marks from where its been in a shop window underneath

is there anyway of getting rid of that marking? has anyone else had the same problem?

QUADROPHENIA · « **Reply #12 on:** February 04, 2008, 05:10 PM »

there doing white and black as well, about £25 each

jackel · « **Reply #13 on:** February 04, 2008, 05:12 PM »

time to get them on the bay me thinks before these are re issued

Waxintaxin · « **Reply #14 on:** February 04, 2008, 06:27 PM »

LOL
yep , just wait till araya , and se and someone decides to re issue MX1000s start re issuing exact copies of older stuff lol
its a shame IMHO as it only devalues the whole hobby as whats the point in collecting old BMX ,when it isnt ?

And anyone who says it will drop prices is not looking past there nose , as this allows more people into the scene ,which will make prices of original stuff rise

Bad

I'm not so sure Rich, they are different as they don't have aero written on them and the mongoose reissue didn't effect the prices neither have all the plod Skyway TA's

Waxintaxin · « **Reply #20 on:** February 05, 2008, 09:21 AM »

I just dont like it

you may as well reweld up a copy gen 1 or a ripper and proudly ride around on it pretending that its an original , i just dont see the point of getting exited over re issue stuff when to be honest the real deal is still out there and still affordable ( ok so a new seat reissue is say 30 quid? well a new old stock can be had for 70 ) so save up a bit more

Bloody instant gratification is what it is

rubbish

I would rather have an 'Aero' seat than a re-issue Kashimax Aero. At least it is from BITD. Besides how could we spend hundreds on a build and then skimp on a fake seat for the sake of £30 extra. :uglystupid2

Longun · « **Reply #22 on:** February 05, 2008, 09:44 AM »

I can totally see the point. If I'm going to be racing the bike I'd much prefer to stick on a £30 saddle that basically looks right, than get pi55ed off every time I stack and scratch up a £100 original seat. Keep the stupidly overpriced original seat for when you're 'showing' the bike.

I guess that's only an issue if you use the bikes for what they were intended.

Swivel · « **Reply #23 on:** February 05, 2008, 09:49 AM »

I guess its down to personal preference and also what readies are available to that person... me personally I'd have one as I don't have any on my builds and the originals are becoming too expensive to buy at the moment.

dont agree.

if someone getting into it again is of limited funds then they can have something that is near on identical to what they used to have for 25-30 quid

same with redline twinpinch cranks....i have used them on several bikes and they look mint...

i appreciate your point, but i for one think its a good move and widens the appeal of old school bmx...shouldnt effect prices of the real stuff too much, just means more people can have access without seeing heavy prices and then turn there noses up..some of the stuff out there is scary money at the minute...

you simply cant build a middle of the range old school bike for reasonable money anymore.
