It's the same twat that was trying to sell faded black tech 3's as "special gold and black" ones; he's a fookign dickhead with no idea what he is on about.  They are no way Robbo bars they look a little GT like but I would not put any money on it  ::).

Q:     That's a great story . But I have four sets of robinson bars . And the one your selling are NOT Robinson bars .. Just thought I'd help you .    06-Dec-10

A:     well , it doesnt exactly help . Just done 14 hrs at -10. it's not a story as in fiction . it's a story as in anecdotal , as in , that's how I remember it , as in those bars WERE in a bargain bin in Alans in Lowe Mill Ln , Hindley , Wigan , ( tel 0942 55015 ) ( I can remember that because I was into train spotting and it's the same number as a Deltic diesel loco, not because I have an old copy of BMX Bi -weekly constantly in use at the side of the throne ). The bars were definitely chromed . i remember that much . They definitely had a robinson sticker on the back when I bought them . LH side ? Not sure ? Short of deconstructing them to sub atomic level it would be pretty difficult to establish whether or not theyre 4130 . They are quite light though . And were sold as such . I definitely painted them a few times . One time I fitted a ' Torker ' sticker to them . I guess they briefly became Torker bars , then . I have a stack of GT Team stickers that were quite probably used too . I stuck one on my Renthal seatpost on my Ammaco FS Pro . It's seeing a therapist 3 times a week,having a crisis of identity . OK , so if we can establish what they are NOT , can we establish what they are ? I was thinking of passing them off as a hoover. Now, I'm absolutely certain that's not some ersatz sticker . I havent peeled it back to check it's even a sticker. It might not even be sticky . In fact , I've just realised that until it is peeled it is both sticky , and not sticky . At the same time . It is Schrodinger's Sticker . The bars start at 99p . That's a Mc Flurry .With the sticker . or if you prefer , the sticker is 99p , with the bars . That's a quantum sticker , remember . I can accept that they might not be a genuine Robinson bar , but they were sold as such . By the Robinson importer . my very good friend. with a sticker on . 28 yrs ago . ish . Yours etc . jeffrey archer . HMP open prison . Serious BMX fraud wing . La la

seen this sale for a stem...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMX-old-school-SUGINO-STEM-USED-/250737609510?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item3a61204b26

"Apparently it was 1984 and I had just left Uncle Alans house to go to the to local Wigan Fresco and lo and behold who should be in there looking at peppers but EDDIE FIOLA... ( since then I have been unicycle training with Eddie and I am going to his house of christmas...) but I digress... he had just lent Woody Itson 50p for woodbines and had no money left for peppers. It was at this point i noticed the bulge in his trousers..whats THAT I said... its a used Sugino Stem he said... 'yours for a pound' yes please Eddie says I and the deal was done... Eddie got his peppers and I got Eddie Fiolas ACTUAL Siguno used stem that he may or may not have had on a bike that he may or may not have rode... I rushed back to my escort to find that Woody Itson had dinged it on a slipped cherry picker... Never mind Woody I said... nothing could ruin my day"

Has it sold yet?
