They don't look like LG's on that. The seller carefully never mentions the forks at all.
I don't look on eBay often for bike stuff, I was just following a couple to gauge price and the black one I was watching had the same dubious LG's on it as well. Is eBay always like this for Bmx stuff?

He mentions "unstamped" a couple of times but does he mean the forks? £500+ for a ripper frame that's had the seatpost re-welded... nope.

The dropouts and the baloney cut are miles out. They've got one of those burner fork safety holes and a point on the front.
I never buy Bmx on eBay and so far have only ever had good deals(touch wood) so why are there so many scrotes and rogues when it comes to Bmx? It seems to attract the lowest form of sneaky shite.

I'm sure all hobbies has its share of snakes.
Maybe folk who are that way inclined get involved because they think they can make money from people's ignorance.
