Title: This aint real is it ???
Post by: threaders on August 11, 2012, 05:07 PM

Just seen this listed recently http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Old-school-BMX-frame-and-forks-/120966651120?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item1c2a2c9cf0 .
The seller isnt giving much away, but I think he knows what he is up to so if it was real, surely he would list it properly :-\
Any other ways of telling a real Kuwie from a fake? :daumenhoch:

only saw this in tech and restoration thread the other day. You did a good job on that..£40 wouldn't of covered the paint and decals. Didn't see this up for sale. Good buy, I think :)
