  1. Yes they are Patrick, will be part Chris' for sale items soon.
  2. Sorry, for some reason the photo doesn't want to be the right way up!
  3. Had a check of the forks done and all OK. As you can imagine was a bit concerned with the number of people out there who will reproduce items. Thanks to those who offered constructive comments. Thanks to my brother Broke L345 who suggested I post here until an inspection was done.
  4. The rest of the work on them is fantastic, which you would expect from S&M. Will be checking out some other forks later though it seems may not be unusual!

  6. Hole at front was slightly to the rider's lhs and was drilled at an angle so is more pronounced from the rear which is the direction of this shot. You can also see the dags where it was not cleanly countersunk. The rest of the forks absolutely match up and it may be that one of the staff was having a bad day.
  7. I have just purchased a pair of what I was told were NOS 1" threaded pitchforks for a 20" where when they arrived I compared them to a set for my 24" I purchased new BITD. After noticing the brake caliper mounting hole is offset I compared it to my other set which is perfectly aligned and the hole neatly countersunk where this newly purchased set has extrusion from the mounting hole where countersunk. I am worried that these may be fake. Does anyone know if fakes are being produced?
  8. Having seen this thing in the flesh, the photos do not do this thing justice. Looking forward to seeing it completed & considering Chris' other builds it will be awesome! Good job, carry on
  9. Some people are crap at keeping secrets.......aren't they Chris!!!
  10. Good things come to those who search, toil and ask. That said I'm with Larock, dead to me as well! Hope the territorial G-Boys don't squabble with it. You'll have an arsenal for BOTY 2012, can't wait. Good job, carry on. :Special Salute:
  11. I thought Christian was coming out of the closet and doing instructional videos when I heard he was in photos on a link about how to treat a g boy!!! I think we are about even now Chris! :Special Salute:
  12. What an asshole not only does he put together fake crap & sells it on Ebay, he will not even accept returns. Time to start looking for the person that holds the rights to the name I think.
  13. You need to understand that this site is all about having the original items and with some collectors in the original unrestored condition. The survivor class in BOTY in an indication of this. Some collectors spend many years looking for an exact rare part, which doesn't have to be expensive. When an unauthorised reproduction is made it may devalue not only the original components but also those years of searching to get the exact part/s they wanted. I have the view that if I build my dream bike and don't use only original parts from BITD it is not my dream bike but rather a representation of it. I think your enthusiasm for BMX has never been in question and as a junior member can say that I am not part of the "in crowd" as you put it but have received great support by people involved on this site new and old. Everyone has their opinion I respect that you have yours and hope you would understand that this site is frequented by purists who cherrish the hunt and rare hard to find original parts. Cheers H
