Brogue 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.c...840910001717009 The brand in SA has taken a huge knock, due in no small measure to Cycle Science's opportunistic shenanigans and the relatively cheap chinarello knockoffs available at the click of a non-ASG button. For my (admittedly limited) money, I prefer to steer clear of the brand altogether. StevieL and Gideondv 2
Mokgaga'a mmakubela! Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) why are so many people fixated about Pina? I have passed a lot of guys on Pina with my alu Schwinn many times on the road . when are people going to learn that it is not about the bike but the person riding the bike Edited May 12, 2014 by Mokgaga LOSMEICHERIE, Kranky, mrbaker and 2 others 5

Schwinn: Pinarello: Sure, its not about the bike, but when its that pretty, maybe its a little about the bike. Spark, Dgas, Jacques Potgieter and 1 other 4

DJpak Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Please when anyone buys Dogma , check through ASG!!Not only Dogma, wheel sets as well. I saw some fakes...Lots of guy imports fake stuff.. be careful....
gummibear Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Wouldn't buy any carbon products off the net without having laid hands on it. Just to many fakes doing the rounds now.

DJpak Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Yoh! Really?! Cant be... Yes. That's why when u buy a wheel set, check which year model the wheel set is and check the hubs.Fake wheel sets dont use original hubs..... and check the rims as well
DJpak Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 From the ad: I.E: Its stolen! Im so sorry if im wrong, but I found some differences between urs and other dogmas on seat stay? There is a world champion mark which is started blue and the end is green but urs is upside down. And there is letters Sky with pro Cycling which urs doesnt have may be I only cant see that bec od camera angle.And the drop-out is supposed to be black not silver/grey.Dogma's drop-out is normally same coulour as the frame colout. If a frame is red the drop out is red, a frame is white the drop our is white (mine)And on the head tube there is supposed to be a pinarello mark not sky mark.... basically ur dogma's decals are difference... seat tube, chainstay (?).. so I checked on google and my country's website. I can't find a dogma same as urs. Have u ever registered ur dogma's serial number on pinarello web site?? Bec sometimes pinarello changes decals. My white dogma has two versions of decal on the seat tube. I registered my number and I got an confirm email from pinarello. And ASG also confirmed it. If u did and u had the email And ur Bora decals are also.. weird to me... Im not sure whether is bec of ur light As I said if I am wrong, im truly sorry. And I will apologise about this
Guest EdEdEd Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 As I said if I am wrong, im truly sorry. Dont apologise to me, its not mine... Check out the ad
travisza Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I know it doesnt help but this is why I checked the serial number of my bike with ASG before I bought it.(Internet is full of unhelpful comments...I'm just adding my 1c)
