along with supercross; kappa were the first companies to make limited runs of retro framesets

Suppercross did the Skunk Quads 24 & 26 project also the Nomorea's and 26 gjs retro frames

Kappa did various including the hutch retro's and pk but they also sold a cutom service to tweak / order your frames with different styles (profile 3 bar etc.)

And Jessie Vargas - Jumped on the bandwaogon with VRP racing and ripped off loads of people to the turn of thousands (however if you were lucky enough to get one of his frames they were amazing - as they were fabricated by Sal - who used to be one of the main welders for SE back in the day)

Later came JC (Johny Chopper) and Knight
