My friend, who knows vintage bicycles pretty good, got fooled and bought a redecaled Apollo Club Sport, thinking it to be a Cyclops(a much much better bike) simply because the bike had Cyclops decals fitted. The point is that, sooner or later, we all sell our bikes. With that in mind, sooner or later someone somewhere gets burned, even though no ill intention was intended.

Immediately obvious to me is not an issue, but to most newbies, the issue is great. How would you feel if you were the one who got burned?

The fake Cyclops and I came close to buying it myself. Fortunately for me, I started seeing red flags upon more careful examination of the bike.
