I could do with a few really I've got a couple of DC 890 sets in various states of restoration that will need 'em and maybe a couple in case i f@ck up the application of them Say a sheet with 10 on ?How much d'ya think Cheers
I think Jai is offering you the washers , not repro decals .
I emailed retrospect about these and just got in to find it had been replied to.The decals for the 890/1020 are in the process of being made as we type. So watch this space, or rather marks ebay shop/ website. Retrospect bmx.

"I just gotta finish my build in 5 minutes , oh I hope it won't look sh1t because it took me no time at all & I bought as much re-pop/remanufactured stuff as possible" .

"I just gotta finish my build in 5 minutes , oh I hope it won't look sh1t because it took me no time at all & I bought as much re-pop/remanufactured stuff as possible" .some people want a cheap/quick fix mate. nothing wrong with that..simply isnt enough stuff to go around.cant beat a good repop, and if you dont have a choice, why not?
In this case and probably a few others, the re-pop argument is complete cobblers. If we are going to be totally politically correct can anyone explain the difference in -Getting hold of a rare old f/f haveing it fixed and re-painted to look as original as poss, then haveing re-pop decals put on it.Or bringing back a worn set of dc's by either paint or re-anno then cleaning up the hardware and putting a re-pop decal on the washer or calliper arm.If this argument had any foundation at all there would be no restored bikes full stop.Technically anything that is restored is re-pop. After all the fact that is needs resto means in some way the original finish is damaged to the point that the said finish needs to be re-popped in order to acheive the resto. Sometimes it's not just about a cheap fix it's about wanting to make an original piece look new.I don't see many survivors in bike of the month. Just restored bikes with the original finish re-produced (re-popped)Although i am talking complete poo poo so lets just skip all the dc's that don't have a decent condition decal on eh?Sorry for getting on my I have just got up off my nights and had to vent my short fuse somewhere Phew i feel better know, off rant
Completely missed the point I'm afraid , why reproduce something when the originals are still available ? .Oh & restoration is not reproduction .
Bloody hell - been offline for a few days and all hell brakes loose !Right then :1. The chill pills are in the post 2. I only wanted re-pop as originals could not be found 3. Jai has kindly got in touch and offered me some washers.4. Jai I will send you a PM right now.Pheeew - anyone would think i was asking for a re-pop proclass frame
I am looking forward to my pills arriving in the post tomorrow Cheers
