Title: Profile Lockjaw Stem
Post by: Gnarlyscoots on March 23, 2015, 09:20 PM
I was very tempted to put in an offer on this ste to replace the reproduction one I have on my Profile.

But then upon closer inspection, I noticed these....

So if you were considering it too, be aware  :daumenhoch:

Is that an original Terry, if so the design leaves a bit to be desired  ???
Also are the bolt heads usually so close the the corners of the cap or has it been "restored" and over polished?

In the ad he says there were no issues before polishing  ???

Yep, that's an original Clint and very very hard to come by.

I also agree it has been stupidly polished but you can actually get it redone to leave a 'grainy' finish, which is what I would have done if I hadn't noticed the cracks in the back.

This is the re-issue of it...

Funnily, I was chatting to my mate just now about it and I raised the way he actually says that. It's like admitting they are there without admitting it  :knuppel2:

The same seller has a VDC Chimp listed as well.....   

I contacted him yesterday to advise him it's not a frame SET and that he should revise his listing to save himself/the buyer any hassle.
I've had no reply  :popcorn:
