Cycle Science in Broadacres Sells Fake Pinarello

[DJR]

So there could potentially be a lot of fake bike out there, which is scary

 

Caerus, I think we don't have to stress to much about our Giants.......... :D

Still arguing discussing grey and fake...unluckily the owners dogma was black = fake, or should that be red?

There already seems like there are a lot of fakes out there!! Hard to know if any of them are real

Play it safe, buy local......MOMSEN......a grey MOMSEN.

 

Oooooops, OT........I was looking for the MOMSEN thread. Me noob!

This tread made me wonder and I checked all my bikes last night. Luckily thay are all legit.

 

Me too. My heart skipped a few beats when I read the OP's post.

 

Last year I phoned a shop, told them what I wanted (brand, colour, size). They said yep, we can get it. They emailed me 2 days later saying your frame is here. I paid them by EFT, then called the missis asking her to go by the shop to collect it.

 

Like the OP here, I trusted a bike shop. Doesn't matter what industry you're in, if you doing business with people there's got to be some level of trust. From the sounds of it, the bikeshop involved in this matter....... The less said the better.

Dogma should have Campy Super Record (mech or EPS) and NOT Record. (or Dura Ace)

DT Swiss wheels? Just no.

I mailed Niner this morning to ask how we can confirm our frames are the real deal.

Will keep you posted.

 

But considering the guy you bought it from, it's safe to assume your EMD is fake.
