Are all these V-Bars on e-bay real ? They remind me of the ones made by Dorsey BITD, at least those were made in the usa.

I have wondered the same thing myself.

No For me it's impossible.

True or false stem ?

Are you talking about the Red and Blue one's? If so, yes they are, they are Microline bars.I had a metallurgist at work do a sample scraping of mine on the inside to see what metal they are and she said they were made of a Chrome Alloy of sorts. Said it seemed very close to aircraft grade.

They look real, that guys been selling those for years.

...but someone should tell him they ain't annodized.

For me it's false. GT stem are also copy on E Bay with cheap price. It's dangerous if you roll with your BMX...

those GT stems are real, but not the '80s/original version. they are mid-'90s+ aftermarket stems. a little different and not as nice(good) as the originals, but they did come from GT.

OK. How can you tell if the Redlines are fakes. I'm looking for some for my Team Jag. I would hate to buy fake ones. Are there any other things out there that are copies of original products.

• Pretty much all pads and decals have been reproduced.
• A huge majority of Hutch stuff has been reproduced.
• Profile cranks
• Bottema forks
• Haro numberplates
• Se Racing Landing Gear forks

That's just top-of-mind stuff. There is much more...

I have a strong opinion that my attitude has been reproduced, not happy about it, slightly flattered but not happy.
