Just received an FSA Orbit Xtreme Pro this morning that I ordered on Ebay. Now I know I took a gamble based on the price, and to be fair I think it has paid off... Mine certainly looks like the real thing at least! Feels of a particularly high quality. Perhaps it helped going for a "Buy it now" from a reputable seller rather than bidding on one from a less reputable seller.
But seeing as talk of these "fake headsets" has been rife recently, how does one tell the real thing apart from a fake?
And more/less importantly, though this Orbit Xtreme Pro I have sat here in front of me looks quite nice, how on earth do they justify a £90 RRP? (Cost me £25 BTW). I've fitted a few Orbit XL2's in the past, and would I say they were less than half as good? Probably no different based upon what I can see! Mind you, I used to insist on Chris King until I realised that I started changing bike frames at such a rate that Kings became a very false economy...
