Yes.  Canada or North America produced a lot of them a couple of years ago.  There is a thread on here about them, they are very good and close to og but the bolts are the giveaway as is the etching of the logo/brand name on the top cap.

Thanks Marty...

I was going to buy one off the Museum, but the seller pulled the plug, (fair play to him) , as he got a PM about it 'not being right'...

I have spoke with him , and he feels he was stroked, as he bought off a reputable shop...

It's like this one...

It has the 'Triangle' of death on the bolt... :shocked:

Saw one like this on ebay this week but in light of all the fakes and my limited knowledge I gave it a wide birth  :daumenhoch:

I'm unsure on the Tuf Neck Stems...

Here's the thread on Pro Neck Stems...

Dwain's one looks real - reference the distance between the 4 bolts and the edge of stem having 'less' metal, but the main bolt has the 'Triangle' of death on it ... :shocked:

I reported the ones on eBay as counterfeit - reckon it made fook all difference though, if it means coffers for eBay they don't give a shit

We sure did young Ash , I do believe we were even looking for a hint of rust or signs of age on the packaging staples   :chin:  :whistle:

Ash and myself didn't as he was busy at the time with other customers and tbh i had better things to do at MK than waste 20mins arguing over the legitimacy of his stems ...... and besides i ain't had much time for him since the goings on at previous MK's .... the Oakley grips , tip em out , pick what he wanted and go didn't rate too highly with me  "nono" .
