It is fairly easy to see. Also, I'm not sure that e-bay seller is the manufacturer, but instead someone that got a bunch of knock-off carbon frames and painted them up to sell cheap. Also, take a look at their knock-off Cervelo S3. Not even close to the correct frame.

Very funny. Fiemme said:. The manufacturers make slight modifications to get around patented designs. The company is more than likely making frames for Pinarello. However there is a bigger market for cheap imitations at a substantially reduced price.

This would be the Taiwanese Companies "Bread and Butter". DirtyWorks said:. Depends on the model. I don't know the current state of affairs, but there's maybe a three OEM's capable of doing that kind of quality at Pinarello's low volume. Why do you ask? Apr 14, 0 0. All Pinarello's are made in the 'far east'. Italian craftsmen produce some of the most beautiful bicycles in the world, and they make a fantastic marketing tool.
