Check them against each other, I'd be interested to know.

He did seem to have quite a few pairs, when was the last set you saw come up for sale

Exactly....Quite of few of these kicking around now too...

You can see a clear difference in the blue to white bars straight away

Last set I saw come up was by Dave Rampchild those are the other set I have that I'll compare against.

White ones from Kappy, blue from Rampchild:

Are the white ones without capped ends, and the blue ones capped?

Could just be colour and angle that make them look different? He might well have bought a few sets, as he did seem to buy an awful lot of stuff for high prices.

Here he is ... ol Dappy

I think they're pucker tbf, why go to all that trouble to replicate quite a detailed set of bars to make a quick buck, when he could have done the same using a less complex design, DP ladder bars, for example.

If you look at his fleet, there's only 3 sets of AZ's and shit loads of CW Freestyle bars, I'd be more suss of them.

Not exactly the same position with the photo.

The blue ones before paint:

The ones from Darren:

Seriously, I don't think you've got anything to worry about.

I can see a slight difference but could be the angle of the pic... guess the only way to tell for sure as re: dimensions is to size em up with each other.

Either way they're pretty fookin close.

He did make a few , theres a thread on it some where.
Nice enough kid, if a bit ott on wanting everything bmx you own for nothing.
Couldnt ride for shit though , sore him nearly kill himself a few times at t1 and boardroom, that's why he just stood around talking and doing that balancing trick.

Shame Dave Curry didn't stay on here - you could have your answer from the company owner himself.

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #38 on:** February 15, 2015, 11:14 PM »

I would consider Dave a friend. Life seemed to have been hard on him and I'm a little ashamed to say I allowed contact to be lost.

I hope he's safe and well.

I like it where he says 'nothing has changed'.

Well, there's nobody turning up on the rides or phoning me up anymore bragging about how much they've spent on bikes/parts, and there nobody trying to prize parts off people and telling them that 'everything is for sale'. And there's no back door auction type sales via pm's anymore, so I guess, quite a lot has changed.

was only when I went to reply that I re-read what you wrote Dan
for a second I thought you were saying there was no back door action going on - of course there's still plenty of that

Back door action is par for the course on this Forum.
