Q:     That's a great story . But I have four sets of robinson bars . And the one your selling are NOT Robinson bars .. Just thought I'd help you .    06-Dec-10

A:     well , it doesnt exactly help . Just done 14 hrs at -10. it's not a story as in fiction . it's a story as in anecdotal , as in , that's how I remember it , as in those bars WERE in a bargain bin in Alans in Lowe Mill Ln , Hindley , Wigan , ( tel 0942 55015 ) ( I can remember that because I was into train spotting and it's the same number as a Deltic diesel loco, not because I have an old copy of BMX Bi -weekly constantly in use at the side of the throne ). The bars were definitely chromed . i remember that much . They definitely had a robinson sticker on the back when I bought them . LH side ? Not sure ? Short of deconstructing them to sub atomic level it would be pretty difficult to establish whether or not theyre 4130 . They are quite light though . And were sold as such . I definitely painted them a few times . One time I fitted a ' Torker ' sticker to them . I guess they briefly became Torker bars , then . I have a stack of GT Team stickers that were quite probably used too . I stuck one on my Renthal seatpost on my Ammaco FS Pro . It's seeing a therapist 3 times a week,having a crisis of identity . OK , so if we can establish what they are NOT , can we establish what they are ? I was thinking of passing them off as a hoover. Now, I'm absolutely certain that's not some ersatz sticker . I havent peeled it back to check it's even a sticker. It might not even be sticky . In fact , I've just realised that until it is peeled it is both sticky , and not sticky . At the same time . It is Schrodinger's Sticker . The bars start at 99p . That's a Mc Flurry .With the sticker . or if you prefer , the sticker is 99p , with the bars . That's a quantum sticker , remember . I can accept that they might not be a genuine Robinson bar , but they were sold as such . By the Robinson importer . my very good friend. with a sticker on . 28 yrs ago . ish . Yours etc . jeffrey archer . HMP open prison . Serious BMX fraud wing . La la
