Why are people having such a problem with these reproductions?
This is no different than all the people who currently supply
reproduction parts for classic car restorations.
In fact, if you do some research on restoring classic balloon
tire bicycles, you'll find that this situation already exists
in the cycling world. As long as the reproductions are
presented
as such, everyone is happy to have the parts available.
The seller is not portraying these as anything other than
reproduction/replacements for pieces that easily deteriorate
over the years and which are not going to be reproduced by
Campagnolo anytime soon, if ever.
The real danger here, is that honest people with the ability
to make reproductions will be dissuaded from doing so.
