Author Topic: A'me Dual Repop's (Read 2324 times)

Retrodan72 · « **on:** March 03, 2012, 07:07 PM »

Dunno if anybody has done this before, but i've contacted Customer Services @ A'me to ask if they are ever considering reproducing Duals. I was lucky enough to get a set of NOS ones last year and would definately have another set - should any turn up.

, but quite happy to use repops till then.

I know a lot of people dislike using repop parts but there are plenty on here that don't mind.

Anybody fancy backing me in increasing the demand for them to do this, should they e-mail me back of course?

They'll probably just say fook off.

I personally have no issue with it......

Genuine gear has become out of reach now unless you have money to burn!

I just can't comprehend the prices stuff now swaps hands for

And if it's a re issue you can put them on your new school, if you have one that is, I also hate the prices nos stuff goes for, but even worse is companies who re issue stuff and then still charge loads for a re-issue, like Kashimax.

I agree Bru, i'm not a fan of hanging around waiting for the correct parts that a :daumenhoch:re gonna clean me out when I can just buy it now on ebay for a fraction of the cost - means I can get my bike built quicker and ride the fooker.

I buy my reissue Kashi's from Japan, £54 posted, not too bad imo.

total bargain, I paid a lot more than that for mine, and subsequently ripped them on their first outing.

Really? You can pick them up [Kashimax seats] from bike shops in Japan for about £50 which is not too bad. Just avoid the GayBay ripsters and you can pick them up at a reasonable price.

That was my mistake then, looking at the prices from 'GayBay ripsters'

those new kashi's should be about £15,you can get a top quality bike seat for 50 quid.

lk_97 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 08, 2012, 07:20 PM »

And a pivotal kevlar padded seat, by a top/trendy company for £30
