Subject: [CR]Market for re-manufactured old parts

I am wondering if someone like Sheldon, Greg Parker and/or the redoubtable E-Ritchie (I sure hope redoubtable is the right word...I was dying to use it in a sentence and I have worked it in twice now in the same one) might be able to have these things made under their name. One would not be able to put brand names like "Campagnolo" on them with out permission, of course. Seems if a small market can support lugs perhaps it could support those parts that wear out... like gum wall tires, brake hoods, brake pads, etc. With E-Ritchie's design genius, Sheldon's marketing expertise and Greg's Engineering background, they would be a threesome to be reckoned with. The fact that they all have considerable cache and name recognition wouldn't hurt, either. Just daydreaming, I guess, while I watch the street for the DHL truck and delivery of my new (old) Masi.
