Hey all far away collectors. In the event you are not aware, there are a number of fake GT "CalifoSnia" pads being sold on ebay right now. This set in particular is going for way too much http://www.ebay.com/...#ht_1020wt_1139

Yes, they say CalifoSnia and not CalifoRnia and are NOT original pads as stated...

There are several discussions going on regarding these including this one: http://bmxsociety.co...ifosnia-padset/

Just in case you were not aware, please spend wisely.

Thanks for the heads up Bloud

It's a shame to see this,, as they look pretty good too. $:-\$

But as always "Buyer beware"

I've got a set and the quality is actually quite good and the colours vivid. They've even copied the packaging to be fair.
I certainly didn't pay what some sets are going for, especially in the States. Mine are on a rider so who cares, they finish it off beautifully.
Apart from the foam being a different colour, here is the only difference I can find.
