some swiss dude on ebay sells fake tomassini frames for about half of what a real tommasini frame costs. you can tell they're fake because tomassini doesn't even make track frames. tomassini posts here warning people about them, but because the BFFSG all-stars wanted to buy a cheap tommasini track bike, or at least, a cheap bike with bunch of tomassini stickers on it, they pick the side of the ebay seller, who has since posted some convoluted story about buying some frames years ago and how that allows him to sell frames under the name. the tommasini people, unable to cope with this level of idiocy, completely melt down, and random mods start locking things.
finally all the threads get deleted, so tomassini posts another warning thread in that other subforum, where everyone just decides to tell them to go **** off because honestly that don't want that crap in there.
