That's not a real Lightning, is it? The seat doesn't look right, the front boom and triangulating tube don't look right. Neither does the riser.

I thought the same thing when I looked at the picture. Here is another pic of a Lightning P-38. Is it just the angle? Can't put my finger on it.

Seems to me the real P-38 has an elegant, switchback curve to the seat back. It also looks like the head tube is much longer on the real P-38.

Look at the angle on the front derailleur tube. Way different. Also notice the bracing from the false bottom bracket on the genuine thing.
If it's a clone it's not a bad clone, but it's not cool to try and pass it off as the real McCoy if it isn't the real McCoy.
