And no, I'm not getting this from Hamilton, whoever that is.
Counterfiets, for all intents and purposes, do NOT exist. Its exceptionaly difficult, time consuming and expensive to make a fake. Im my opinion slapping on different decals doesnt qualify as fake. My Colnago frame isnt stamped with 'Colnago' anywhere but its unique features make it easy to ID as a Colnago. If you want a more positive ID we'd need close up pics:
1. Side of head lugs
2. top center of brake bridge
3. chain stay bridge
4. rear drop outs
5. seat stay caps
6. under side of BB
7. any 'clover' cut outs there may be.
