[lazychubs]

i was gonna have a go on it but didnt wanna spend almost 500 on a frame and forks lol
fink dingos is a kappa could be wrong tho

[Jazzchimp]

he's a nice bloke, very efficient and does some good stuff

I'd recommend him

hmm, looking at that oddangle frameset, it was probably a steal at 203 quid???

i think the guy has replicated a lot of stuff with his own touch to it...

it would seem undoubtedly talented, but does get a huge amount of stick over the pond for reproducing bars and forks etc.

aaah the yanks bag anything that's not from there. i havn't bought a frame off him but heaps of other stuff. he's one of the best on ebay and he's an Aussie...............what more is there to say

This is an old chestnut, he does clearly mark his stuff as repro's but some think not clearly enough  . The over pond stick is because "they" think only "they" should be allowed to repop/repro stuff and someone else doing it is a no no  .

I know Marty, gets on my tits at times all the bitchin that goes on. Not like the repro aerospeeds that is just wrong.
