Full Version: Landing Gear Alert On Ebay

I'm no genius, BUT from everything I've ever seen on Landing Gear, ALL the non stamped Landing Gear had the three hole dropouts (except the very early no hole dropouts and the LITES) as did the 85 vertical stamped forks. ONLY the 86 and later had the thick 2 hole dropouts. How is it that all of a sudden this sunnysgirl on Ebay has AT LEAST 5 sets of "NOS" UNSTAMPED Landing Gear WITH the later 2 hole dropouts?????

This guy has a bit of a history of listing Sal welded frames as SE frames. My gut feeling is that although these forks look identical to SE forks, they are copies. Any thoughts?

Also, notice these have no front brake hole. FRAUD and FAKE!!

Clearly fake. You can also tell by the way there is no overspray on the steertube (paint on the real thing was never neatly finished off at an edge like these) and the real deal have a slight collar on the top of the fork crown. I'd like to know what type of candy apple they're using though!

This donut has purple in the middle, purple is a fruit.

A quote by Homer Simson - just saying, it looks likesomething doesn't mean it is always the real McCoy.

I did not like any items of his after he said the Phaze 1 was almost mint. The prep wirk on the right rear dropout does not look mint to me - that was the end of looking at that guys stuff!

Subwax and Indy have both corrected the problem. They both were informed and backed out.
