It may be worth VO's consideration to look at doing some reproductions of competition parts, but I really appreciate their current emphasis.
on ebay and CL?
I am talking about online marketplaces... There is much more focus on commuting/utility (and I do not mind it, because I do a lot of that as well, and take advantage of it) and fixed/single speed commuting/utility that vintage racing. There are several reproductions of vintage commuting/utility parts (from fenders to racks to saddles to bells and whistles) but very few of vintage racing parts. Again I am talking about online stores and not ebay and CL.
