Objective opinion: the knockoff version is dangerous to ride
Moderator: robbosmans
It's hard not to argue that the prices bike companies are charging for frame (and other components) is wildly excessive. In fact cycling gear and clothing are all marked up excessively. Sure some of that is R&D but I can't help but think the profit margins are extreme.Cemmac wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 6:48 pmI totally agree but on the other side, when you see production price tag of asian companies and their price tag of resellers which is calculated around 10x times the original price and more just for frame., morally, ethicly, illegal...no, it is just capitalism world.
In your OP, you’re looking for assurance that these frames are safe to ride, correct? Then you kind of reassured yourself with this reply.Cemmac wrote:I suspect i would get a reject opinions from here. Why those eu stores sells forgery frames, answer is more than simple. Because people buying them and they succesfully ride them, there is also aspect that stocks are empty everywhere till summer. You get at least 2years and over warranty for these frames and as i hear the comparisson with original is really good. I don't need subjective opinions, cause not helping. I also don't like Chinese competition in economy, but currently there is original or forgery both probably chinese, this also include taiwan factories.
