Kaner · « **Reply #17 on:** December 22, 2011, 01:44 PM »

Customs should be in the region of £80 + fees, maybe £85-90 in total.

always makes me laugh when someone brings out a repro frameset,the feedback is aways positive until they are launched then its just non stop bitching,slagging off and backstabbing towards the maker,greg hills repro is prime example,everybody raved over them before the launch but now there is such a stigma attatched that you cant give em away,mark my words the skyway 24" will be the same,i love em now and will love them still once available

I think if you take a closer look you'll see that its designed with modern geometry - Repro suggest a reproduction, which I would make a call this is not.

Designed to be actually be raced (rather than just for show) with a 1 1/8th headset, euro bb, etc. I personally think it has the best of both worlds, good oldschool looks and a well thought out design.

At least with this one I could actually see someone ripping a nice flat table on it without fear of it breaking in half (but will have course hold off my full judgement until it is fully launched).
