Didn't On-One try that? I hear it was a great success and welcomed by all in Retroland...
Personally I dont want to see any bike company back. If they did then they would be a poor shadow of their former selves, trying to compete in a market that is so remote from the one that they played in that their bikes and designs would be diluted to match the modern customers wants.
Their bikes and designs were of a time and that time is gone, they were from the old school of frame building where factory mass-production and profit margins were unheard of.
Personally if you like their bikes then buy an old one. In real terms the price of an Attitude today is about the same as it was in the 1990s
I am always minded to think of the Mini or the Fiat 500. Both reissued, both good cars in their own right, both have nothing in common with their 1960s counterparts. The originals have something special about them, they were true classics that have influenced many admirers, the modern ones are just conveyance for estate agents and posh girls called Annabel.
Personally the on one fat chancers problem was it had no apparent relation to any FAT Chance. At the time I did say that if on one managed to get Chris Chance out of retirement and used say Indy Fab to build a run of bikes I'm sure there would have been more welcoming arms.
