    Stick it on ebay under a bike name that it is not. Then to prove it is a truely great bike stick some strava times on as well.

    Its fine, he says its a replica ..

    “actually a dengfu FM098 frameset which is very similar to the s works venge (same geometry)”
    Guessing its not exactly the same

    I know its says replica but im not sure the specialized would be too happy with it, i was more try to get at the fact he’d put the strava rides on there.

    don’t know owt about prices of these roadies things but to stick that in the small print is pretty deceptive 👿

    if they are genuine zipps they are about £1500 per pair rrp.

    seems odd that he has a load of nice kit, Zipps, 3T etc to throw at a deng fu frame. i know a good few people have built up deng fus on bike radar and said they ride ok but they normally appreciate them for what they are and dont stick top of the range components on them. Although some people make big claims that the frames are from the same mould/factory as the big brands, use the same carbon/layering etc but i suspect thats somewhat delusional.

    So he bought the frame and is testing the market for nudge nudge-wink wink replicas?

    I bought a cycling jersey from China, it looked OK on the website but when it arrived I realised it was carp. When I tried to Ebay it the brand owners emailed Ebay, who insisted I remove it from sale!
