How can you tell? Super fricken' super Magic X-Ray vision? Really?

Just because it has many of the same cosmetic features you think it is EXACTLY the same product?

Have you never seen a fake Chinese handbag?!? They look almost the same in the shop but fall apart six weeks later. Guess why? Because they are made with inferior materials and produced to a much lower quality standard.



I am in the middle of doing some destructive testing on frames with an assembly factory and I beg them daily to let me publish the data. It's like a fricken ritual. I beg; They decline.

Even frames that supposedly have passed the European safety standards fail way before they are supposed to. Again and again and again. there is one frame I'd love to sell (looks really cool) that we just can't get to pass the standards. We've trashed 6 frames now and the factory has given up. This frame is now dead to me.

So go ahead and roll the dice. I mean everyone knows that Chinese factories are associated with high quality goods that come with a comprehensive warranty.
