I bought it from a Chap down in the eastern cape. he sent me a full description of the bike along with some good up close pictures etc.

Thanks david will pay them a visit

Thanks jason, Not too long, but now not too proud either

Good Morning Hubbers, It's funny that this thread has popped up because last week i sent my second hand Pinarello Dogma 60.1 in to my LBS to have the gromit in the frame that the bottle cage is screwed into replaced because the previous owner made it so tight that the actual gromit popped out when i was changing the cage. So in it went and later they rang me saying they have to send it off to Pinarello South Africa to have it done because they are scared that they would crack the frame. Understandingly i said that's fine. Yesterday i got a call from the LBS saying that Pinarello have turned the bike away saying that the serial number is not registering on their system making it a fake. Now reading this whole thread I have come to understand more about the Grey import/ Fake situation, but being in the freight forwarding industry I already understood quite a bit. What i wanted to ask the members is this: If a bike is a Grey import it should therefore not be on the Brands serial numbering system in that country because it was not brought through the official channel ? Or am i wrong here. All i want to know is is the Bike a grey import or a FAKE. I have had a friend look at my bike who also owns a Pinarello but a newer one and he says it's not FAKE. Today i am going to email the chap i bought the bike from and ask politely as I know with these second hand sales deals that go on people can generally get quite itchy about queries coming back after the purchase has been made. Any advice here will be much appreciated. All i want in the end of the day is to have this issue resolved. I am not a serious racer and if the bike is a fake then so be it i can live with it because it is still a full carbon frame etc etc and Bottom line it works perfectly for me. But if it is so does anyone know of a good Carbon repair man in JHB ( northern suburbs) that i would be able to take it to and have it done seeing as Pinarello wont help. Apologies in advance for changing the topic somewhat but i thought it was quite fitting to this thread. Cheers

Agreed on that most definitely, she will need a baseball bat to beat them off haha

Definitely keen !

Shot !!

Chaps is this area in JHB/ Gauteng ? if so please may someone share some light as to where it is ?

I will forever jump a red at 5 in the morning when its safe and clear. I see no point in sitting at a red in the cold vulnerable to the Mexicans of this world that prey on us bikers.

Agree its top notch, you will never ever have an issue with it

Fizik Arione, best seat ever used by far

Shot for the help chaps, i definitely agree that saving for the Dual is first prize. But i think he will want to save for a big dog dual sus, so will go with the advice on the thudbuster but tell him to consider both options. Funnily enough he owns a Momsen HT so i'm sure he would be interested in going to look at that model. Thanks again for the help !

Hi chaps, Just looking for some advice on this ( i think relatively new) invention with there being a small setup for suspension in a seat post. i have not seen them being sold yet. a friend of mine cannot afford a soft tail and so is looking for a cheaper alternative. if they are a good option please suggest if you know of places to find these things ? will appreciate the help cheers
