Title: A FEW BITS I COULD DO WITH ID'ING
Post by: dordymush on January 12, 2010, 11:36 PM

i just bought a trm that had these bits on.
aint got a clue what they are whether there shite or ok.
the welds on both the forks and the bars are really neat and not what you would normally see on cheapo stuff.
anybody reconise any of it.
heres the forks.

Knee savers are "4 piece" bars and come in much tigher on the vertical bits (to give knee clearnce).
I dont know what they are, or of they are Haro or not, but they aint Knee Savers

Deffo not kneesavers, nor 80's Haro bars.
The crossbar should be knurled and a bit lower

Definately all generic, bars are Haro race 'style', forks look to me like mid 90's GT/Dyno 'style' and the stem is just rubbish i wouldn't bother with it Dave.
