shaper Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 hard news to hear, depending on the price you paid.... just ride it !!
'Dale Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 What did you pay? Sorry to hear.That's rough. Not much you can do.Inform ASG, distributors. Not sure what can be done after that action.
Paul Ruinaard Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I think there are many people out there that think they are riding Pinarello's, while they are actually riding Chinarello's I think that there are many people out there riding their bikes including some high end brands, not only Pinarello, that are in for a rude shock. But here's the thing - whilst they are blissfully unaware, shouldn't they be left to smile and wave as they think they are on their dream machines. This is such a can of worms. Sorry mate. I get your financial pain. But does it ride worse now that you know its fake? Or did you lose a place on the race. Probably not. So enjoy it anyway. Its probably a stunning machine and your baby until now. StevieL 1

Come on guys! a fake is a fake, no matter how "good" it looks or ride.

Come on guys! a fake is a fake, no matter how "good" it looks or ride. Happened to my wife's colleague, both went in to some jeweler to get their rings rhodium plated(white gold needs this from time to time apparently) and stones cleaned with some light zapping machine...Anyhow, wife hands in her ring tells the people what she wants done...no problem mrs rouxtjie, colleague hands in hers and says she wants the same done...Jeweler says....ummm, first off, this isn't white gold but silver and secondly, those are cubic z's. Shame, poor aunty war properly embarrassed, and lets just say that oke aint getting nooky for the rest of his life.

Come on guys! a fake is a fake, no matter how "good" it looks or ride. IMHO, that is the wrong question. The real issue is, would I love Pamala Anderson less if I found out they were fake ?
Cellar Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Does your wife love you less if she finds out that her 2 carat diamond is actually a Cubic Zarconia? What's the correct answer?
GLuvsMtb Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 What's the correct answer?Hopefully not, but does she (and you, assuming you got conned) have the right to be furious? Sure. And every time she looks a fake ring she will be reminded that she (and you) got conned. So you'll end up dumping the ring and will buy a real one, even if its only a 1carat chip instead of a fake 2carat rock. Cellar and rouxtjie 2

So, then the crux of this, is did the OP pay a chinarello or a pinarello price? If he paid pinarello price, then sure, be mad, but if not, then ride it till it breaks. gummibear 1

Trailman Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Hi all, watch out for this one being sold as genuine Pin shod with genuine Boras, however anything but the real thing. http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-sports-bicycles-fitness/meadowridge/pinarello-dogma-road-bike-+-brand-new/1001127245840910001717009
