Serial number ???

long post
-
something to do with the coaster fixing?
-
what other frames have been copied ?? I've seen these and the mild steel PK Looptails, but are there any other copy legends ???
-
meteorlite
dopied the kuwey freestlyer or a vecta jobbie
ie twin top and bottom tubes
-
head tube angle is shallower
top tube length is slightly shorter
seat tube angle is also shallower
most fakes do not have a coaster hanger, although mine does
most fakes do not have rear drop out knurling, again, mine does tho
the bend on the top of the forks from the front is much rounder, real haro forks are just curved, if that make sense
then there is the all singing all dancing serial number, not always a deffinate sign as any fook wit can stamp a frame.
then theres the chrome, i think gen 1 chrome is pretty good as far as old school bikes go, the fakes seem to have thinner, 'less bright' chrome.
some fakes do not have the machined head tube...haros do
give me a while there must be something else.

back in the day there was a shop near me that sold copy ones , i can`t remember what price tho and regarding haro had good chrome i thought they were crap as even bmx plus said that the chrome wasn`t that good on them compared to other frames around in that time
-
well if bmx plus said it it must be true!!!
apparantly there is a bus on the moon according to the sport...hehe
seriously though both my gen 1's have original chrome and have both only been polished and the shine is still there.
Dave
-
polished.

You guys are a hidden gem of info,I was just wondering if they were actually better than the originals are far as quality goes,everything gets punted to the far east to get made now but sometimes quality can go up and price comes down....... :daumenhoch:
-
Just buy the genuine article :4_17_5:
just you'll be paying more than the Rom bloke does ;D
By the way thats the best gen1 copy I've seen aswell :shocked:
