funjunkie Posted April 5, 2014 Share Form reading through the 90 odd pages, there are a few discussion points. 1. The OP bought his dream bike form his "trusted" lbs and was sold a counterfeit.2. It seems that he was not the only one. This may be the tip of the iceberg. I look forward to watching Cart Blanch tomorrow.3. ASG/Pinerallo have not commented on this forum (unless I missed it) as this matter has probably been taken further and we will hear about criminal/civil proceedings in the near future.4. The Bike shop has not commented on this issue probably due to point no 3.5. This matter needs to be investigated by the police for alleged fraud.6. If investigations and due process finds the bike shop guilty, there is no way they should be allowed to trade again. The charges against them are just way too serious. It is equivalent to a registered jeweler selling fake diamonds or watches. They can never be trusted and don't deserve to continue doing business.

intern Posted April 5, 2014 Share So, after all this...is it about the bike...or not? This particular Armstrong has made a case study of the concept of 'don't get mad...get even'. Well played, sir. MaXiMuM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, he's going to find out that a fake and a real Dogma is cheap when she starts putting real Italian marble on the floors, the kitchen, bathrooms and the patio!

Yes you can get Chinese marble, the only problem is the tint, it's a funny sort of 'grey' colour Andrew Armstrong and ThePubSA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIPSLICK Posted April 5, 2014 Share Firstly from all I have read here I SAY I BELIEVE MR ARMSTRONG One problem I have is if CARTE BLANCHE is already ready to go to tv on Sunday how extensive could all the details/facts be "INVESTIGATED" I'm sure MR Armstrong has given them. Lots of ammo he seems like he has lots of facts, I'm more concerned about all the other who have been caught and how widely spread this is in the industry So I would like to see how much they investigated or is it a knee jerk reaction to a HOT STORY, I'm sure by now a full forensic audit couldn't have been done, and check paper trails and and and I hope I am wrong and it is a extensive investigation was done so we will know bike shops won't even think of pulling this Shiite again Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Spoke101 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a while at least. DIPSLICK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may well then be a follow-up program. Also, Carte Blanche normally hands over their findings to the relevant parties, i.e. SAPS, SARS, etc. who will then do their own further investigations. I am sure there is still much more to come. Lexx, DIPSLICK and slowpoke 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
