How old is this Fairtex Banana Bag?

[Ryukyu Damashi]

I know Fairtex has used nylon hanging straps since atleast 2004. This one has chains, strange....

Holy shit that looks old. Did they even call it a HB6 back then?

Damn. Might have put those chains on himself cause I can't remember the last time I saw fairtex bags with chains anything like that

The Fairtex HB6's have had a five point rivet attachment and nylon webbing for quite some time. I googled the telephone number on the bag and it came back to:

Fairtex Gyms, 444 Clementina St., S.F., (415) 512-7727. The dates were the early 2000's, and it appears to be an abandoned building now as there is nothing listed at that address. Check out this photo.

That's what I thought at first, but then I notice that the current bags don't have the metal triangles that the chains are attached to.

The guy is selling the bag and the stand for $300. The stand is in rough shape also. I think I am going to pass.

I'm going to Thailand in a few months and might just pick up a Boon Sport heavy bag instead.

Great research. Thanks

Looks like the guy dragged it around and scraped the shit out of the bottom. That's a damn shame.

The bag looks like it is still, "alive and kicking." :icon_lol: Pun intended.

I guess the Balazs stand is worth $300 alone. They retail for $1300. But I really don't have a use for it.
