Dedicated tricktrack frames, what's the difference between these?
Bunch of randomly picked photos of Airwalk Fixed Gear BMX, Brick Lane Bikes BLT, MKS Bruiser and Charge Scissor in random order. Are there in fact any real differences? Yeah, sure there are, different tubing, the whole debate on the AFG BMX being blatant copy of Bruiser etc. but just looking at these I'm starting to wonder...

Starting to wonder what exactly? I have an email from AWFG's factory saying they requested the Bruiser geometry. Bottom line, the companies that pushed the limits and designed a frame with riders (Charge with tom and ted and Milwaukee with Tony and I) got their shit ripped off...
you forgot the gangsta track by bmw, and the wbase durcus one stylin. those look really similar! john is right, there are always going to be imitator compromising quality for a price point. in the end it's the consumers who make the choice whether to go with the original or skimp out. i was just about to post something similar, but you beat me to it. good lookin' out dude.

He's talking about AWFG ripping off the Charge Scissor (color) and MKE Bruiser (geometry).
As I pointed out, I'm aware of the AFG frame being copied off Bruiser but what about the BLT frame then? It looks pretty much the same to me as well...
Also, it goes without saying that Gangsta Track is probably the original fixed freestyle frame, if there ever was one, which 'inspired' all of these -including the Bruiser- (and I know John will disagree with this) but at least the frames I posted here are not directly ripping off the BMW
