First gen are more round on the bottom, 81-82

Second gen are more squared of, kind of boxy if you will. Late 82- late 84

Third gen look like second gen but have a thicker cross bar. late 84-86

A big reason for that bro is the cost of first gen's. When you do come across them, they are in generally poorer condition than most gen 2's and there are significantly more gen 2's about, thus allowing more people to buy them at a reasonable amount  :)

i did find a set of gen 1's (robinson made) the welds aren't nice either if my memory serves me right, anyway the ones I found had rot holes in them (not structurally safe) your right about their condition, don't think the first ones used quality steel the gen 2's I have are lovely

bars
I had a set of early powerlite powerbends and just couldn't get on with them
