Please read read the thread before a lynch mob forms... Asked and answered about a hundred times already. Fake not grey, or any other colour. Fake, knock offs, copies, rip offs, chinese carbon. Call it what you want but not the real thing.

What a special person you are.

Debbie?Is she part of the same fantasy that produced the rest of this post?

He is in the UK.

Probably right in saying it wont have much depth but it is at least something.A week ago the idea of a fake bike scam hitting our tv screens was pretty much unthinkable, now maybe people will think twice. For a while at least.

Tread only, non of the others can hold my interest at all.

Hey! I will have you know I resemble that remark...

Whats up with you dog?

My bikes now stay in the house placed either side of the dogs sleeping spot. Cant chance leaving them in the garage anymore.

Its your own fault for having a user name that reminds people of the spice girls.Should be punishable by death...

Its the lack of a proper serial number that gives them away...

Oh goody a sacrificial lamb...Lets leave out the bit where the shop, at a minimum, sold counterfeit goods shall we? Maybe we could start off by listing the correct components? Maybe the cycling industry is very small but with shops like this around I really hope it gets smaller. Quickly. If that was meant as a threat it really is a bit weak, the guy that started this thread strikes me as someone that doesnt like to lose but if he does lose he is probably going to be the best second best you will ever see.

Thats when you eat the Toblerone. Loudly and in front of her.If you are going to be in trouble go large.

Living next to Germany?

Don't underestimate the power of Toblerone, it has a calming influence on even the most angry better half.Although in this case, with it being a R91k stuff up, I would recommend upping the dosage to two.

Yes those are the bikes you see on the singletrack

With the way I ride it would be Scalded and Incontinental...

You need to go straight to the big issues of the day - why is it nearly bloody impossible to find good tyres for a 26'r in Capetown these days...

Harsh, very harsh.

Utterly unable to read Afrikaans so I couldn't read the article but I do know that if there were signs at each obstacle I would spend a lot of time falling off/crashing into things while trying to look at them.Maybe really detailed trail maps would help along with a clearly understood system for trail grading. That and people not trying things beyond their level.

Jeez thats a complete wipeout, are they insured?

Is the build day confirmed for Saturday?

Comparing this to buying a Rolex from a grocery store really? That's a bit pathetic. The man went into a bike shop and, shock horror, bought a bike. He has every right to expect it to be what it was claimed to be. It's not like he wondered into Cash Crusaders in search of a bargain now is it.

I really am slow today.

Well colour me confused
