JUST READ LEE HURST THREAD ON AKISU. I WAS AT MY LOCAL CARBOOT AT THE WEEKEND WHEN I SPOTTED AN AEROYAL SEAT ON A STALL. I PICKED IT UP BUT IT WAS KNACKERED
I THEN ASKED THE SELLER IF THEY HAD ANY OTHER OLD SCHOOL STUFF, WHICH THEY THEN SAID THEY HAD A CHROME F+F IN THEIR SHED. TO CUT THE STORY SHORT, I WENT AROUND AND THEY PRODUCED TWO F+F SETS.
THE STRANGE THING WAS THAT THEY WERE BOTH VERT IDENTICAL TO EACH OTHER, IE: GUSSET WAS THE SAME AND DROPOUTS ALSO. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THE REAR BRAKE BRIDGE IS DIFFERENT ON ONE, AND THE COMPLETE DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF WELDING, IE: ONE HAD REALLY GOOD QUALITY, NEAT WELDS AND THE OTHER HAD BUBBLEGUM WELDS. ALSO BOTH THE FORK DROPOUTS WERE STAMPED "AKISU".
CAN ANYONE TELL IF ONE IS OLDER THAN THE OTHER? CHECK THE PICS BELOW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
IF ANYONES INTERESTED IN BUYING THESE, JUST DROP ME AN offer.
