Bellatisport?
Moderator: robbosmans
Hmmm... does "balton" really work for Bellatisport, because now all of a sudden I'm looking at their website and about to pull the trigger on some purchases. Sure seems his post has created some interest!

In case anyone ends up in this old thread after googling Belatti Sport and wondering what is going on with that vendor. The below is some info obtained directly from Pinarello in November 2020. What a bizarre situation. Pinarello says they don't know if the products for sale are "used bikes or fakes," thus not even considering the option that they might be legitimate new bikes. Yet Belatti has been selling for decades without Pinarello stopping them. So strange.
"You can find all of our authorized Pinarello Point using our dealer locator https://pinarello.com/it/store-locator.
The Store Bellati is not one of our authorized Pinarello dealer, so it’s hard for us understand if he sells used bikes or fakes.
We remain a tour disposal

and in a separate message:
"Yes, it’s not an authorized Pinarello dealer and for this, he can’t manage warranty claim.

I'm very interested now in where the Pinarellos come from given that Pinarello HQ says they do not come from them and they describe them as "used or fake." I will send the same question also to Look and see what they say about the Looks that are listed.
Comes from a Swiss Outlet that sells bicycles...seems Bellati does online sales...
Just for further info...LOOK accepted my invoice from Bellati in registering for their (LOOK's) warranty...
It might be worth contacting Bellati to ask how they handle Pinarello warranties...

And this "Swiss Outlet" provides Bellati with bikes that Pinarello HQ doesn't know about? How exactly does that work? Clearly Pinarello HQ believes that the bikes on the Bellati web site are not legit Pinarellos....

That is very interesting that LOOK "accepted" your regestering for warranty. I asked them directly through the main LOOK web site, and they ignored my question about warranty if purchasing from Bellati Sport and responded as follows:
"This website seems to belong to the Swiss market... The price(before discount) is close to being correct and the leadtime for delivery (12 weeks) also seems right .
If you wish to order such a high end product, i would recommend to check at a LOOK dealer near you. You can find those on our store locator:

Hm, based on your saying that you bought a LOOK from Bellati without any problems and that LOOK accepted your warranty registration, I was starting to conclude that there wasn't much to worry about...
You mean what LOOK said in the email above? I don't know if that refers specifically to frames. Could als be the wait for full bikes. Don't know.
