Sorry if this isn't the right place. just delete it.

Looking at buying these Brides off a guy local to me. They are basically brand new and a decent deal, just unsure if they are real or not. Some small things seem off but idk.

Any help please??

it looks good to me with the exception to the knob on the side, real brides are trianglular 3 point.
And the side of the seat should be aluminum, use a magnet to find out. if it's magnetic its made out of steel and is a fake

Sorry :/ I did search though just nothing was coming up that was a direct comparison to the stradia II models so I was left still unsure.

I thought that as well for the knob, did more digging and on the stradia II straight from japan and the website that is the correct knob, they changed it up

But from real brides I have seen the Bride tag is backwards?

That's what the small questions thread is for, when you can't find something searching and its just a small question like is this real you post it in there.

Also if you hit MQ on more then one post then hit quote it puts the quotes in one single post to make it cleaner.

Cronus577 · 12-06-2013, 03:47 PM

afaik these are real, they also don't have the 3 little buttons on the side like fake ones, Hannah said that they changed up the knob so it does look genuine, only way to know FOR SURE is to use a magnet on the metal side parts to see if they're aluminum or not

Edit: I was doing some more looking around, I noticed the tag isn't completely overlapping and it's kinda crooked. Not sure if this means anything or not

The tag and the slight wrinkle up by the harness holes are whats throwing me off at this point.

Especially as the fake ones start looking more and more like the legit ones. The fakes correct some stuff every few years and get closer to the originals.

Just sucks. And the dudes being a dbag and trying to start drama over it cause i told him i thought they were reps and passed on buying them lol didn't even try to talk money just walked away!

zerodameaon · 12-07-2013, 07:38 PM

Let him be mad, its not your fault they are fakes, he is just mad because he got screwed no doubt.

blue350zed · 12-07-2013, 09:11 PM
