Official Fakes/Possible Fakes Inquiry Thread (ARE THESE FAKE? POST FAKES HERE)

Agreed. I'm not much of a gambler when it comes to $$$. I'll probably just save that $$$ for a pair of "real" x metals
What? Madman is not a real X-Metal? And Hatchet is a wire,? Has the world gone crazy?

Just kidding. Love the Madman, it is together with my other real X-Metals and hopefully I love the Hatchet i just picked up for equivalent of 50 usd.

I'm somewhat "old school", to me x metals are Pennys, Juilets, and x metal xx. (I guess I could put the Romeo's in there as well). I know "technically" there are other models out there that are classified in the x-metal category, but I feel they should have come up with a new designations for them.

Just me and my antiquated way of thinking

For the same reason I don't classify any of the "Fives" as "Frogskins" even though they fall in the Frogskin frame category.

I guess its just my hang-up on the name.

This is similar to why I don't consider any 4-cyl (Ford) Mustangs to be real Mustangs.

I call them Gelding's

Romeo, Mars, Juliet, Penny, XX, R2, Half-X, and XS all have an equally valid claim to the "x-metal" designation - they were all actually made of the x-metal alloy, they were all actually made at the x-metal factory, they were all officially part of the original x-metal product line, and they all (more or less) share similar design characteristics.

It's the madman and badman that were later marketed as x-metals but were not, which would fit in the wanna-be group you're describing. And motoGP's joke about Hatchets is related to the marketing spin they put on the mad/badman, which, had it been true, would have meant Hatchets qualified as x-metals too, though they are not.

And BTW Dann at o-review puts frames without rubbers in the Frogskins frame category, just as an arbitrary grouping; they're not actually considered Frogskins.

I knew a joke will bring you out more, kinda absent lately, except the usual threads.

He has also good reviews on his eBay store

Is it possible to be real without the strap band and extra icons???

Weird...
Fakes doesn't come with a real oakley microfiber bags... but I'm not sure that's the right bag, I think that's the Heritage one.
