Anyone been reading the Bullseye thread on the museum?

Has anyone else been following this? http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=475473&p=1

I wasnt paying much attention to the thread at first but it seems that Bullseye shot its self in the foot here. Long story short Bullseye have been making new hubs for years and selling them as NOS.... Pretty sad really. I wonder how many people have paid top dollar for these thinking they were originals. 

(Apologies if this is a repost)

I blame anyone daft enough for believing they had all that stock left over for all those years . Also is colours they never made bitd

[Devilock]

Cant be arsed to read it all but when did Bullseye first start producing these hubs?

[Peter J]

lol NOS 

I always asumed they were still making them 

As no one would have that sort of stock pile 

[midschooljon]

Cant be arsed to read it all...

In a nut shell the owner of the company sent out an email saying certain people were selling "fake" bullseye hubs and asked people not to buy them. After much fuss it turns out that Bullseye have fallen out with their manufacturer so were trying to make out like the manufacturer was making and selling fakes. The manufacturer just chimed in and said he had been making the hubs for bullseye right up until this year and basically spilled the beans on what Bullseye for making new hubs and selling them as originals.

I see...thanks for the summary Jon. 

How can these contemporary hubs be distinguished from OS?

Been having a read, been a known fact for a while about the 'NOS' Bullseye stuff. When did the manufacturer pipe in on the thread though? Thought I'd read all of - must have missed that bit

Exactly  

That's why I 've never had a build with Bullseye hubs

Haven't  the originals got brown bearings and an offset step on the rear

But alot of people are happy to have repop ,look at all the restored bikes with  Hutch Skyway and Haro stuff  

Must be a pig finding out ,,if you thought what you bought was OS though

I will go through and see if I can find it again. It was a rather ambiguous comment and then later on another person chimes in saying that person was involved with the manufacturer. Ill skim through and see if I can find it.

look at what you could have won.........
a pair of nos hubs made last week 

[meticulous]

i thought everyone knew they were still in production ,   but hard to tell the differance between old ones and new ones...

[ron burgundy]

I understand they are going to be re-branded in the New Year...

[Devilock]

I got sets ages ago from very reliable sources...but after seeing this a tiny part of me is slightly depressed & concerned! 

[Pooch]

Think I'll have a look at mine tomorrow    think I was told a while ago about these still being made, but never thought they passed them off as NOS hubs.
