CW bars - fake or real?
« on: August 04, 2005, 04:41 PM »
Please help me wih this.  I have been offered a pair of cw bars with no stickers so how do I know if they are genuine?  By the welding your gonna say.  Ok so what am I looking for in the welding.  Nice and neat with a regular repeat as opposed to a messy load of blobs?  Did the fakes always have crap welding or might the dodgy welder have had a good day and got a bit flash.  Has anyone got a pic of authentic cw welded bars.

Thanks for any help you can give.

(would a pic of these bars I'm being offered help?)

its hard to tell because as the years went on the got very very good at making replica bars,the welding & the geometry was perfect on the copies,i know this because my mates dad used to own a very famous bike shop which used to buy copies & put cw stickers on them,anyway some of the copies were as strong as the originals & if you get a cw sticker nobody will know...
