He has several colours as well........... finish looks to rough compared with the NOS one I have, also crappy casting around the bolt split area...... I'm not thinking of buying, just curious to see what people think?
-
could just be me... but don't look quite right
-
I'm inclined to think of....

get the Hattie Jaques bit but what's Spen got to do with it ?
-
;D
-
FAKE - there's a casting mark on one side in the gap which is in all the clamps so they I reckon they've only recently been made.
-
Not sure Bert, they do come from Taiwan which is well renowned for it's utter respect of the copyright laws :chin:
-
They look shady to me, but then I don't have an original to compare
But that rough bit is on all of them, they look brand new and none of them have the packaging
Not cheap either
-
That rough casting mark around the bolt area looks suspect to me as well.
Noticed a few like this kicking around recently ???
-
The Tange SC-2 Stamp looks very heavy-handed as well.
All mine have been quite finely engraved.

That's a bit more like it!
-
jeez, fake old school seat clamps - whatever next!
-
Good spot :daumenhoch:
Look at the front of the clamp, there is a flatend part shaped like a V which does not look right. Black one looks o.k. Gold one does not look right on the front edge either. Poor finishing. >:(
Bfellows have you got a pic of the front of your Blue one? :-\

already did it :daumenhoch:
weird as he's sold shitloads of other stuff

I doubt eBay would even care or attempt to do anything about it. Just my opinion from eBay experience

That doesn't matter, as long as its been made aware on here and the :radbmxsmilie: chaps aren't getting fleeced. :daumenhoch:

What ever makes money :daumenhoch:
Just following on from the
Dia Compe seat clamps.
ESP, Pro Neck, Tuf Neck stems.
JMC seat posts.
GT Pro Bars
Tange Grips
etc etc
I'm talking about stuff made specifically to deceive and make money not Johnny Chopper stuff or Jaymzs stems.
-
bloody expensive fakes as are they really worth that if original ?
-
at 60 quid a pop he can fook right off even if they were real.

£30 tops for a NOS original
