Title: Learned Haro guys...
Post by: oldschoolace on October 10, 2012, 01:37 PM
...given the recent 2 shoes (or whatever is name is) scandal im guessing you can spot fake bars from 100 paces.
so what do we make of these..... Haro, vector or Hatty Jacques?  :-\

Only pic i can get at the moment, cheers all  :daumenhoch:

its hard to judge on that pic really needs to see from a few different angles , they look more right than wrong but they also look to sweep back a bit so more pics required i have a set of snide ones of these on my haro and they sort of lean back a bit and are a bit narrower than the real thing

Ive got a few pairs of Vector bars, and had some snids a few years back. They were good copies, welds etc are usually pretty good...It's like Glen boy says, the angles seemed a bit out. Not sure what they go for.

Originals I've seen go from £230 to £400 lately. Earlier chrome ones seem to be top end.

I'd buy um for anything around £100, if you think they are real £175-£200. Gonna need paint and decals ;)

Quick update guys, when were the snide ones made roughly? What looks like decal residue on these bars seems in the right place and its the kind of residue you only get with years of weathering.  :-\

is there any knurling on the stem shaft?
what are the welds like? the welds on the copies are usually nasty bubblegum welds
the copies have been about since around the same time as the og vectors
