The f**king seat guts are on the wrong way lol 

in the words of Lee Nelson "Qualiteeeeeeeee!" 

[dp and chopper dude]

FFS!

[kalex]

No way have they put the guts on upside down, it's to get a little extra seat height I reckon 

As they say 'school boy error'

Alan needs to have a word with his staff and thrash them with a sock full of shat.

1989?? Bollocks.

1989?? Bollocks.

Say's it's an 87 in the description and to add £200 if you want it with spokes instead of Skyways.

Ouch. So it's entirely repop apart from the f&f? Better buying one of the new ones for half that price.

and tell them to stop using a polishing wheel to fetch rust off

glad this has cropped up , didn't want to be the one to take the lid off the worm can, 

simple misatakes can a do get made even by the those considdered amongst the best / most experianced  builders, 

 it's not just this one,   most, if not all these repops for want of a better word, if it were a U.S.  car show it'd be Mo-par,  (fookin hate using both of these terms )   have the same consitant anoying little things ,   

start with the axles on the new tuffs and get more annoyed from there on.......    for a grand plus i'd expect the axles to be macined down a bit ,     ffs..............., hacksaw em off and marker pen the ends at the very least   

 yes yes i know it's probably so you can run pegs on em  but old tuffs wern't like it 

'no probs with Alans doing this at all , aside from some of the prices , but if people buy em they're going to kepp turning them out , just business i suppose ,   but yes i agree with Retro, it's not like Alan is new to this , he needs to have a word with who ever is doing these

Alan Woods is not a greedy man, he's a businessman and the old school revival has landed on his lap just at the right time. I'm guessing that business has been a lot more lucrative for him in the last few years than say the late 90's - mid 00's, and as more and more OS manufacturers start making more and more OS repop parts then he'd be a fool to miss that boat. But a few simple lessons to his crew in how to build a bike and what it needs to look like would help protect his very good reputation and business.
