gt laybacks on ebay - fakes?
« on: March 23, 2011, 01:25 AM »
so was just having a mooch and saw these 2 listings
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GT-BMX-Seat-post-layback-vintage-old-school-nos-bicycle-/280646901836?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item4157dbe04c

became suspicious due to

- quantity available
- different locations/sellers but uncannily similar listings/dodgy grammar

what do you reckon peeps?  :police:?

Griff,

I saw these and wondered the same....

But it is highly irrelevant when one has reached Snakepost nirvana! ;)

Clean.

relax elina-lovers! my beautiful elina is staying on the haro

but my silverfox bitd was 'upgraded' with a few bits (including a gt layback) and that was one of the parts I might get for my new superfox project..
but those listings look shady as fook to me - just the way the links have EXACTLY the same spelling, but claim to be from diff countries
lying about what country you're in isn't the best starting point

Look hatty jakes to me. Sticker looks too new and the word vintage is commonly used to replaced copy/repro, these days.
Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.
