Skyway Bmx Serial Numbers
Wrote: Sort of. They're not exactly fake but the non aftermarket stuff can be considered fake I guess. Found all the time on stock bikes are cheaper version of aftermarket parts made with the same dimensions and geometry but with cheap manufacturing processes. On some stock Fit bikes it may say something like 'Fit DLD Style' stem. It looks exactly the same as a Fit DLD but is cheaper quality because of the manufacturing processes or materials used. Couldn't agree more. I knew someone who had Fit stock bars but claimed they were Sky Highs I think cause the dimensions were the same, but the stock ones were hi-tensile so he thought Fit sucked then.

Wrote: I was talking to this dude at my local skate park and he was saying how he got a good deal on a eastern reaper 2012, but what was weird was that it came in a shovelhead 2012 box. He said he first thought it was fake, but after he rang the store up they told him it was a display bike and they couldn't find it's respective box.
I'm pretty sure both those frames look identical. Did anyone every find out what was up with the Eastern Wonderyears bars & Guerra bars? Someone on here said they bought a pair of Guerras & they had Wonderyears stamped onto them. I know it was on here but I'm on my phone & don't feel like searching. That could be considered fake.
FRAME No BICYCLE DATING HOW OLD IS MY BICYCLE? ‘How old is my bicycle?’ is a question I get asked a lot, nearly as much as: ‘I have a bicycle that looks like one of yours; if I send you pictures please can you identify it for me?’ The answer, in short, is that I do not have time to tell you either. I’m not being callous about this. With an estimated 15,000 bicycle manufacturers, the odds are stacked against me recognizing yours; in any case, I do not claim to be an expert, just an assiduous recorder of information.

To sift through information to try and find similar pictures to your unidentified bicycle would take me months, and I’m already doing similar research on my own bikes.
Not only do I have a full-time job (I run my own business restoring and selling vintage vehicles) and am a hands-on parent of a young child, but I spend a minimum 30 hours every week building, updating and maintaining these free websites to help you do your own research. My hobby usually takes a backseat.
Insomnia is my saving grace, otherwise there would be no time for any of this. My purpose for creating these databases is simple. In the ‘old days’ (a time which seems to have ended in the past twenty five years or so), a youngster became an apprentice in a chosen field and learned its history from the older employees. Thus, for example, an apprentice mechanic was handed down an invaluable unwritten guide to repairing vehicles that could not be learned at college nor from books, because, as well as specific information about various models, it helped a youngster understand the way they were designed and built.
Similarly, to learn about vintage bicycles, we ask questions of our elders in the hobby. The key point here is that the elders who were around while our favourite vintage machines were still on the road are no longer with us, the last of them having passed on in the past twenty years or so. Now we must depend on those who gleaned that first-hand knowledge from them; these chaps were the ‘youngsters’ then, but now they’re getting older themselves, most in their late sixties and seventies.
They don’t usually use computers, so much of their knowledge is stored in their heads. By the time we learn from them, it’s second-generation information. My contemporaries and I are in a younger age group – forties to sixties – and we’re busy learning and recording what we can before it’s lost forever. We study 100-year-old magazines to see when certain new innovations were first reviewed (it helps us date bicycles with similar features), read correspondence of the time to try to understand contemporary views and opinions, research old catalogues, meet fellow enthusiasts, help each other with restorations, ride our old bikes as much as possible, and work with our elders to pick up tips and wisdom. If you can help in any way by contributing to this research, please get in touch. My email is embedded in the picture below. By recording and sharing this knowledge while it’s still as fresh as possible, our fabulous vintage hobbies will continue for centuries to come.
