Fake MTBs doing the rounds

Recommended Posts

In the light of the non-Authentic (fake) bikes that seems to be doing the rounds (aired on carte blanche), does anyone know if there are evident ways of identifying whether your scott spark mtb is a fake?

i.e. some Scott stickers or signs that they have put in for this purposes (like a watermark on a money note type thing?

You best weapon is knowledge...not just in cycling might i add.

 

 

Anyway go look at the Chinese carbon thread, as far as i can remember there's only 1 29er DS frame. So unless the frame doesn't match this mould then the chances are its not fake.

Agreed, there are only 2 open 29er full sus frames floating around and neither would pass for a Scott Spark. The Prior owner may have had this spark repaired, resprayed and then sold it to you.
