However, they do reproduce many things that others don't ... in fact many parts sold by Ames will come with an Inline label on them.
I have not seen anything I ordered from Ames with an Inline Tube label. If I had, I would have been very disappointed. Posted on eBay right now, Inline lists a ram air pull cable as NOS OEM. Read down further and it is a reproduction. That is what pisses me off. I didn't see Inline at Iola this year but several years ago I saw them at the Jefferson Swap Meet. I walked up to one of the workers and asked if John Kryta was here. He said no and asked why? I told him a few of us on PY wanted a word with him to see if he would back talk us in person like he does here. The worker apologized for his bosses' attitudes. Didn't hear much from them on PY after that....
