NotSoBigBen Posted March 31, 2014 Share FOCUS GUMMI As posted earlier on page 2 Below is the response from Pinarello. Hi Winston,I officially confirm you that the frame on picture you sent me is FAKE. You can forward this email to who he may concern to confirm my statement. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you need any additional information. Best Regards,Luciano. I also confirm after inspecting the attached frame and bars that they are not like the Pinarello Dogma 65.1 frames and Most Talon bars we purchase from Pinarello Italy. Please let me know if you require anything further.

Maybe Italian mafia setting up shop in SA now..... To the OP report this to the cops. slowpoke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cellar Posted March 31, 2014 Share And, unlike the SAPS, SARS ALWAYS gets their man/woman/taxdodger... And, unlike the guy at the robot selling some fake movies to support his family living in a shack, these guys probably made tens of thousands of rands on this one frame. I once bought a set of cleats at this store (it was convenient) I want to go and insert those cleats if I could find them in someone's sphincter. nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellar Posted March 31, 2014 Share Looking forward to seeing this retailer ...come here and cry. (don't worry, when I have the energy, I'll find someone there and direct them at this internet thing.) Edited March 31, 2014 by Cellar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryn Posted March 31, 2014 Share What a horror story. Sections 41 and 51 of the Consumer Protection Act prohibit this type of conduct. In fact I think that it also constitutes Unconscionable conduct as read within the meaning of section 40. Section 56 of the CPA entitles you to return the goods for a full refund. CPA rights aside, you also have remedies under the Common Law to cancel the agreement, return the bike and to demand a full refund, based on the material misrepresentation. Some good advice is given above regarding alerting SARS, and I am sure that Pinarellos agents will vigorously enforce the brands rights of IP - but whether that will benefit you directly is doubtful. I hope you get your money back - keep us posted! slowpoke, Andrew Armstrong, Smurfy and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
