Bid on these and lost out AGAIN!!!

Although i was never 100% sure these were real ones?

Anyone else shed a light on these have i escaped or possibly just let the deal of the day slip through my fingers?

Cross bar FAR too high!

Knurling looks similar.

If you want to compare them they are EXACTLY the same as EZ mark 1's but with a straight cross bar. Knurling, size and chrome finish is EXACTLY the same. :4_17_5:

Saved your money there! :)

The bloke who has sold them also shows some chrome ones in the pic and they look legit.

Wonder why he never sold them ones! As far as i know and have seen they only came in chrome so i wonder why he painted them? Hiding something i reckon.
