Gary Turner to fire up the torch!

[rodriguez]

OMG it's happening again, the word on the street is Gary Turner is going to reproduce some stuff, what a nightmare, a lot of my stuff will be worthless, this is a terrible day for BMX, my life is ruined.

Do I really think this NO!

Why should I?

Good luck to him, if he owns the designs and can make them why not.

If GT makes some bars might have a pair rather buy them than the so called 'originals' (nudge nudge wink wink) Vert-Ego punts on Ebay and £299 a pop.

I don't think the reproduction stuff is making the genuine stuff worthless at all. In fact, it has quite the opposite effect on most parts.

I do have a couple of reproduction parts myself, solely because the originals are too damned hard to get hold of and when they do pop up, are vastly overpriced and quite frankly, I am not inclined to pay so much.

A lot of the stuff available though is near on old school parts prices. I have seen genuine Haro Sport frame sets sell for a lot less on the BMXmuseum.com than the re-issues sell online. The cheaper parts, like Dia-Compe brake sets are in a lot of peoples budgets but, through all of that, none of it has come from the era that we are wanting to be back in.

I am so glad my search for genuine parts in nearly finally over and I can sit back and finish my little collection 

And I would be surprised if Biaggio sells his NOS (re-chromed), if at all they are the real deal, bars for £299 on the bay. People would be crazy to pay those prices

Bit late to the party really, everyone knows the price of GT stuff in the UK  is going to peak in July with everyone wanting to build stuff for Eddie to sign - won't be able to give it away after that

By the time Eddie has got round to signing all Nick's stuff, he will be off somewhere else so it won't be worth the waiting time in the queue

I'll be interested to see what he will be doing, I'd have thought that the designs right back to the 82-83 frame set, bars etc would belong to the present day GT like the logos, he may have struck a licensing agreement with them.

I can't see much of a market for frame sets tbh, bars are probably the most sought after item because they so popular.

JT said something about a chainring he'd like him to sign

[Devilock]

He should be more progressive & create a new contemporary BMX brand to compete with the current companies i.e. Federal, Fit, WTP, BSD et al...

[BMX1973]

Is he making Cruiser Frames?

Be very surprised if he went down that route judging by his facebook page Gary Turner himself is an old school bloke through and through although but given it's his son that'll be actually doing the project maybe he will. 

Be a very hard market to crack though.

Is he making Cruiser Frames? 

Could probably sell a few of those especially if they go by Greg Hills experience.

Looks like they've already decided the direction they are going to go in.

I contacted Gary a while ago and he was really helpful, Gary has made quality parts  His parts are way above the likes of those nasty MX copies, some repop parts are nicer than the originals, made out of better materials like the Helix stem for example.
I would have a Helix stem all day long over the original Tuf neck

[bobbbbsy]

Were the originals cast or forged ? Helix is cnc d right ?

[snoopy72]

They weren't cast but may have been forged though
