Amazing.

Welded by Roy Orbison

Jt · « **Reply #10 on:** March 14, 2012, 04:36 PM »

thing is, you'd have one, wouldnt you..

i mean, it just goes to show the world wide reach of bmx over the years, to even attempt something so fooking tragic.

i'd have swapped it for some sugar cubes and had it shipped home.

my mate in thailand has a copy steel ripper which looks pretty nice built up
his bro built it up survivor style but trouble is I'm no se expert and I can't tell if this is it from all the other bike pics he has on his FB page

here's a pic 'pre-resto' - think this is a diff bike to the one I put up earlier

apart from the rust it looks pretty close I reckon

2 completely different frames Griff and the fake stands out a mile. head tube too long, welds too thin, gusset wrong shape, rear end too thin. I'll take a closer look later

deeman · « **Reply #15 on:** March 14, 2012, 06:14 PM »

has someone been eating that gusset??!!

QUADROPHENIA · « **Reply #16 on:** March 14, 2012, 06:56 PM »

Who's got a pic of all them haro's on a trolley

bigfatolly · « **Reply #17 on:** March 14, 2012, 07:30 PM »

I think we should import some and build them up

I want a snide ripper

griff · « **Reply #18 on:** March 14, 2012, 07:42 PM »

I reckon bretty could explain how it's one of those 'anomalies' that left the factory without the correct wrap-around gusset or something

pkripster · « **Reply #19 on:** March 14, 2012, 07:56 PM »

yeah they make fake pk in phillipines

M5AT · « **Reply #20 on:** March 14, 2012, 08:47 PM »

Im with JT on this I'll be honest.

its like those snide star wars figures that were knocked up in some basement in Tijuana in the 70's, its that shite its pretty cool.

Fake Panerai & Stone Island etc, etc, is just a bit w@nk, but these oddities are pretty cool.

Swivel · « **Reply #21 on:** March 14, 2012, 08:52 PM »

Paint it up with decals "Harrow Master"

deeman · « **Reply #22 on:** March 14, 2012, 09:29 PM »

I agree with mat. theres something shittily cool about all these thai snides.I like the fact that these are everyday transport for people.those tricknuts aint for doing lawnmowers,they are for carrying another family member(or two!!)who's gonna be first to bring one back as hand luggage??
