Is it an educated member of this community trying to slip one into your unsuspecting ebaying public only to get fingered by your ever vigilant old skool bmx forum police?  :police:

unless if someone want to be generous and saved someones hard earned cash from a fake frame someone should risk it by putting in an OTT bid of 2grands or more to "win" the frame and not pay. Just think about it how would you feel bidding on something you think its genuine but its not, i would be totally gutted and upset!

If someone did buy it and then afterwards realised it was a fake and raised a Paypal dispute this is what Paypal would ask of you, I know this because the mrs bought some snide perfume :(

It says it is up to you to prove it is fake and get evidence from an unbiased third party etc. I suppose that could be quite a few people on here  ;)   



Its our aim to work with you to resolve your claim as quickly and easilyas possible. To do so its important that we have all the necessaryinformation. Thats why we ask you to fax us documentation to support yourclaim that the item you received wasnt authentic. 

We suggest that you obtain written proof from an unbiased third-party, suchas a dealer, appraiser, or organisation qualified in the area of the itemin question (other than yourself), which clearly identifies the item as notauthentic. It should be clear from the document how the item you receiveddiffers from an authentic one. It should also give a detailed explanationof how the person evaluating the item determined that its not authentic.Its important that the document is on a letterhead which includes thename, address, and phone number of the business or organisation so we cancontact them if necessary. Where possible also include a serial number

I spoke to Baz on the phone about this, he is a really nice bloke and had a nice long chat about stuff BITD also. I was going to buy it but the bids were racking up and I felt its only fair that he makes some cash from it for his track day car. I'm sure barry is truthful and honest about how he came to acquire this frame and from the sounds of it, his had this frame for a very, very long time. It has also been rechromedand restored so I'm sure nobody would put money into a real fake one  ???. For more info as I really ain't getting involved, best to let Barry talk about it. I don't honestly think he would go out to deceive anyone. Best he says his part on this and try and resolve this.

Right every body  :wtf: is going on? i ebay an item and i get nothing but shit from a linch mob  :knuppel2:,before anybody gets the true facts.i realy shouldnt have to justify myself but i am going to do so anyway for what its worth,in your eyes probably nothing.I got this frame around 22 years ago as a haro freestyler .Every body is saying that its a fake,prove it i bought it in good faith as a pre prouction mock-up (1 of 7) from an ex torker factory employe thats why it has no serial number because it was not suposed to get into general cerculation (THATS NOT BULL,THATS FACT).it came with no decals,yes i had it rechromed and stickered up that cost me £182 in total alot of money to spend on a copy frame dont you think? So thats it in short but  If you still have a problem with my item or me please dont hide behind your keyboards  phone me on 07527287686 or even come round to my house for a chat as i have nothing to hide.Please note that i was still going to use "RAD" to keep intouch with the nice friendly people that i have met on here but after this sort of treatment by alot of you ,sorry to say its changed my mind for good.Best regards Barry.  P.s Thank you to the guys that have spooken up for me,True old school BMXers stick together. :daumenhoch:

However...............JAY is a Haro man though Baz, so i am sure he will be happy to know what you have. He wouldnt have started this thread to single you out.

You should put its rarerity in the listing as i reckon you would TREBLE your money if it is what you say.

Glad you stepped forward.

Barry you are doing yourself no favours here. You are totally wrong in your belief that this is some kind of rare haro. The scary thing is some mug may be ripped off by you. People are telling you the truth here, yet your trying to cling onto this rare torker/haro bs. Are you happy to rip someone off, when you now know this is not a haro. If its as rare as you say, why didnt you mention this in the listing, the only time you are mentioning this is when your called out on it. Give people credit where its due, you are in the wrong, not them

Isn't the point that without some sort of proof it's just a "story".

You don't know it's true any more than anyone else knows it's false.

might get shot down for saying this but is it such a bull story that this could be a very early one?. i remember the skyway ta with solid dropouts not that long ago that was confirmed by skyway as a early prototype? dont know the 1st thing about gen1's or what to look for but anything is possible.

if not stop accuseing me

Dude, I haven't accused you of anything yet, I simply asked a sensible question! There's more reasons to believe it is fake that evidence to say it is not. Surely it would have had a serial number on it, pre-production run or not. Also, as has already been mentioned, why haven't you put this in the listing? I know if it was mine and I was 100% sure of it's origins I would have it in in big massive red letters!

I don't think it's about whether I want or don't want to bid on it. It's about parting some unsuspecting honest person from their hard earned cash with NO evidence what-so-ever to suggest it is genuine.

The frame looks like fake ones, it does not look like  gen 1 haros. the longer seat tube, the way the chainstays meet the bb and the headtube are dead giveaways. Or did the people who made the fakes know something else, and actually make better copys than we ever thought. I think not

Ok,Baz,didn't know the frame belonged to anyone on here and wanted to stop people buying what i believe 100% is a early 80's copy frame which i have come across before,so just here to help both sides,i'm not on here for a slagging match.
Up till now every Gen 1 that has been found has a serial no.
Every Gen 1 found has had the same dimensions as per the original drawings done by Bob Haro.
There is a few pics i've seen over the years with minor differences,Bobs original frame seems to have no knurling on the rear dropouts and the early gen 1's aren't welded under the front gusset.Other than that the dimensions are all the same......yours is different,have a close look at the drawing,i just find it hard to believe Torker made any of these frames totally different to the drawings.
If you wanna post some pics of yours ,i would love to see it up close,and if you can prove me wrong ,then so be it,i would love to believe there was prototype frame made by torker that didn't meet up to thre drawings,but only going from what i've learned over the past ten years collecting thse framesets.

I feel sorry for the people that have spoke up for him as he has led them a merry dance and for what?? is money really that important, I would rather have my integrity than a few hundred pounds.

I hope the guy is true to his word and leaves the world of os bmx as its a far better place without people like him in it,

I dont know the seller, and I dont particularly know much about haro's, but after 10 years on ebay I know a little bit about how shady auctions work.

Firstly list your item with just enough info and vauguish photos for unsuspecting buyers to take the bait.  State you are away from your computer for just enough time for the auction to end (making potential buyers bid without being able to ask questions), and finally list your auction with private bidders (so those blasted do-gooders cant mess up your evil plan).

Get all three right and you are onto a winner.


Unless someone who knows better opens up a fake ebay account in order to bid on a fake bike???

Thought I'd just chip in here, not on the authenticity of the Haro but having worked in the bike industry all my life, weird sh1t does happen.  

I rode for Revcore and had them make me a frame with tweaked geometry and double dropouts, if that ever turns up on ebay will it be labelled a fake because no-one on this site ever knew I had it made? I've been to bike factorys like GT where you'd see weird prototypes of stuff like Ttitanium Robinsons, I think they made like two of them for factory riders to try, would that be shot down as fakes because only a few pwople knew they existed? When I worked for Cannondale, i saw some crazy stuff in the R&D plant, what if some guy nicked some stuff before he left and it turns up one day?

The thing is with the net, you can google stuff and ANYTHING on it will turn up (I just did it with the titanium robinsons) so the chances of not having some trace of something is limited.

I reckon this bloke does have fake, he might not know it, but keep an open mind guys, crazy stuff happens every day.....

Reading the post on the TA i knew it was an 86 recent made one. As he stated he had it since 87 it does make me doubt the story behind the Haro which is a real shame. :'(

If there were 7 of these framesets, surely we would have known about them by now, what with all of the knowledge gained over the years.

I think that he needs to pull the listing and list it again as a possible rare frameset mentioning that Haro experts have questioned its rareity.

Alot of decent blokes are gonna have egg on their face if not Baz as they have all backed you up mate.

Those newly built 'NOS' T/A's have the same fork dropout on both sides so are easy to spot...one of the dropouts will have the knurling and the the skyway stamp on the inside of the fork leg. They were made sometime around 2002 as I remember getting one in the shop in 03.

As for the Haro, I reckon a lot of us could quite easily have bought a fake back in the day.....none of us scrutinised our purchases with the magnifying glass we do these days. Parts were never 100% perfect back then but you didn't care. Now, if there is a mark on your NOS MX1000's you are pissed off.

Thing is, the fakes make good money too....and some of them are pretty damn good.

Not wishing to get involved in the slanging match, but...

I can accept that there may be varying designs and permutations during the pre production phase, however, these frames were produced by Torker and were a variation on an existing Torker design. Now bearing in mind that the Torker 280 had a machined head tube and both the seat post plate and the plate in the middle of the top tubes were always welded in the middle of the tubes and not the top and the seat post never extended that far above the top tubes, to me is a dead give away that its not genuine.

Sorry but back in the day there were a lot of taiwanese frames that were good copies, but the tell tale signs were always the extended seat post, the non machined head tube and the top tube plates welded on the top of the tubes.

THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS THREAD, you should have just accepted that it was a fake and ended the listing, job done. You have come in for stick because your trying to bluff experts in bmx, and honesty would have been the winner mate.
