1000 dia compe re-issue

[sweetbeats]

are they from dia compe, or some john de bruin  asshole special.
some tit will have them in bike of the month though, with re-issue profiles and re-pop hutch pedals, re-pop b1b's, re-pop comp3's, etc.etc..
about as old school as a ps3 and 3d tv's

Can't see the point me all seems badly thought out like most re pop stuff so far. Think all the old nice bits should be left alone.

Dire compe.

go well on some retro re release junk

[Bob_Acid]

So what are we missing now to make up a complete retro bike that's made by the original maker using copies of the original piece?

I can do you cranks, frames, bars, grips, tyres, pads, seats, pedals, Tuffs,

Can anyone do me...

Stems?
Alloys wheels?

MX1000's, yeah,  but no levers.

[hunterdubber]

Err oh yeah   

I know the latest ESP are 1 1/8 but a few people have done repops Gossa included 

were none by ESP then 


The Hutch ones have been available a while

I think Martylaa ordered a couple at least ,, they were in different colours of anno

silver , black , blue, and red


There was a post on Museum earlier in 2010 

Those were 1" quill

and actually got made ,not just took orders and peoples money 

[Bob_Acid]

Ok so all we need are levers and alloys

[Swivel]

Instead of alloys you could use the re-release tuff wheels Bob

[Mattdub]

Those brakes do indeed look shite , if I was a trader I would'nt keep any stock because I don't think I'd sell any 

[Why isnt this working]

Its good because there not right. So this helps us keep old school collecting "pure"....ish  .

Si.

The one thing they can't copy is US and our memories of what went down back in the day 

it's just a cash-in thing - them seeing the prices that have been pushed up higher and higher by demand or the control or parts by a new bread of seller that has no history with the item and only sees it as a commodity

it seems like we use to have control of prices and need for parts - but it has now been overtaken buy a greed of money and not a love of lifestyle

some of the parts may have been reproduced for a good reason but most are now just jumping on the band wagon for profit

to what we use on rides and weather it looks right or is acceptable will be seen

we will always hate the fact that others are cashing in on a scene that we love - as for the companies that we admire for producing the product in the first place now cashing in onthe act - well life changes and not always for the best 


cheers B

[retrogeezer]

jeez, they are bad aren't they!!

Chang Star made good copies back in the day and Lee Chi as already mentioned so what happened to their tooling??

I bought some good black copies off (can't remember who) a few years back.

[HARORIDER]

was the adjusters on these new dc brakes more reliable than the old weinmann adjusters

[BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN]

the blue copy's i had looked cleaner and had more of a professional feel/look - these seem to be a friday afternoon knock up and done by the end of the day

i just think that the design style of think was missed 

[sweetbeats]

They are a pile of Toss-end of Story.....Epic Fail DC 

[Rodgy1970]
