Hmmmm. I bought mine at Jones... is there any other way to tell? The welding is nice, the frame is LIGHT, so I assumed all is well. I certainly don't want to be selling bogus stuff. It also has a Miche seatpost bolt...anyone?

On the other hand, why would anyone trouble themselves making a copy of something so danged obscure? I mean, it's not like Bare Knuckles are super well-known. Even the same colors? Come on...

BTW, those Area 51 frames are SUPER ugly.
