new landing gear forks

[Bob_Acid]

I've seen it all before with StarWars repro stuff, some of it's hard to spot.

is that streetjudge on the bottom one?

I think this is great - affordable quality 1" threaded forks that are clearly not the old 80's ones - well done SE!

I agree, more should do the same and make this hobby affordable again

I suppose that depends on what people define the "hobby" to be.

If it's collecting original old school BMX bikes/parts, then the re-pops aren't a good thing.

If it's collecting replica or retro BMX bikes/parts, the re-pops are a good thing.

If it's riding/racing old school BMX bikes, then they're possibly a good thing as the new stuff should be stronger/better made and not cost the earth to replace if they get broken.

I agree, repro stuff is only a good thing when it's used for riding. You're not going to win any show and shine with repro stuff

but if you dont ever enter show and shine cos you think its for freaky wierdo's, then its ok.

i think..

i'll get my cape

Guess they're good for bikes being ridden but sad for carpet queens

yeap, i must admit being a bit disappointed @ reading they're doing them again,

hopefully they'll be easy real easy to spot for everyone.

Really cant see what the fuss is all about?  Twin pinch flights havent impacted on the original flights, and I dont expect these will on OG LG's.  They wouldnt appeal to me in the same way twin pinch dont, well not for 'show bikes' anyway, and im a relative newbie in the hobby.

They would appeal to OS racers, same as the twin pinchers, or for someone who either isnt arsed about 'era correctness' or spending the money on originals.  But those people will only be on the periphery of the hobby anyway.  I cant see many hardcores on here building a loopy ripper or 80's quad with modern repop LG's.

Its funny how the Hutch pedals have gone down so well, seen a few pairs appear on OS rides (that will probably not all get ridden) whereas these are frowned upon.  Exactly the same thing if you ask me.

who cares?
if you don't know and can't tell you have no place paying big money for a set of forks. Repro shite will continue to appear which seems like a funny situation. We nearly linched sander and biagio and a couple of septic's for home made bmx parts, now everybody is at it. How times change eh lads.

Knock off landing gear have been kicking about for the last few years, some of you may already have them on your builds. And I'm not talking about the shite ones from years ago.

The Fuji ones? well, we will just have to see how they (Fuji) have designed in the difference. What about the Skyway forks? are they ok?

Redline cranks? come on mate, Redline have never stopped making them, they are neither reproduction or knock off, and any difference is very easy to see... think Porsche 911, products evolve over time
