Hello... so I'm building a skyway t/a and am looking to get a set of b-1b's.
The 2010 repro's go for $150-$200 and the originals about double that.
Is there a difference?!
Cheers
Matt

You could hide the date with an Oakley crud plug .. Easily done
I've owned both .. The repops are very good to be fair

I see... thank you chaps!
On closer investigation I can see a little "2010" here...
I'm sure a careful dremel or something could smooth that out!

The originals do not have the hole in the end hence why people use the crud plugs to hide it!
