I haven't read all of the conversation between this mozzy guy and the Tommasini folks, so I am not saying that I think it is or isn't a counterfeit frame. Just think about it, though. If you list 10 fake Super Corsas, you'll have every Cinelli nut on eBay (which there are a lot of) nitpicking every incorrect detail. Choose a less known but still prestigious sounding brand and the only people likely to call it out as a fake are the people who make the authentic ones.
