Post by: retrogeezer on November 22, 2006, 01:55 PM

my fake one has a coaster anchor...long seat tube tho' - I thought I might cut it down a bit.

Also, the chainstays don't meet the bottom bracket in the same place.

Nice Dan! At least you can ride it without worrying...looks sweet mate.

this is like the ball under the cup trick.....move em about enough and guess which ones real.

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/v255/rombloke/DSCF0002-4.jpg)

its the one in the middle without haro forks in case you didnt know....

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/v255/rombloke/DSCF0003-3.jpg)
so if you have some haro forks out there could you please let me know.
just to point out tho, my fake does have a coaster hanger, the same as simons, but the geometry is slightly different to the real thing, a keen eye will tell the real thing from a fake, the build quality of the real thing is miles better.
