Brogue Posted May 17, 2014 Share It's convenient for SA authorities to be soft on counterfeit products,and associated illegal activities, a by-product of being in bed with the People's Republic of China. Rubbing your main international "investor" up the wrong way, wouldn't be good for international relations. Individual politician's bank balances would take a hammering too. We're victims of a flawed, corrupt, despotic, hypocritical system. vdLRSA, Greg29 and JGR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That statement is bs, though they may not be perfect customs destroys 100s of millions of confiscated counterfeit goods from china every year.

Cav' Posted May 17, 2014 Share Sad really, that the damage has been done to the brand. I for one would never buy a Pina just because of the slight doubt people will have in thinking its a fake. Bloody chinese, lets hope they never start copying the brands I love with this magnitude. LOOK695 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanievb Posted May 17, 2014 Share ASG is very quiet I would think that is to be expected as the cycle science matter is (probably) currently sub judice and it won't be very clever of them to get involved in an online debate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chro Mo Posted May 17, 2014 Share The problem is AFAIK that even the real are notCorrect. Framesets are manufactured in the East, and bikes are apparently assembled in the EU. Here is an interesting page on Inner Ring that details what is made where and is owned by whom...interesting reading.... http://inrng.com/who-makes-what/ G e r h a r d Odendaal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
