Pussywillow admits selling fakes as real on this forum.
This is a criminal act no?
No because PW is a poor troll, just posting something to try to get a rise.

Moderators ignore this and allows thread to continue.
Am I missing something here?
Yes the fact that PW is a total troll, well actually a very obvious poor troll really
(don’t worry about it, I posted in a thread the other day before I read it properly and realised it was obvious troll being obvious..).

Who’s trolling? 🙄

I’m just being honest, I made some money, I got positive feed back after it so the buyers must have been happy. I kept some myself, if you look at the genuine ones they have better zips, and the material is better but they’re still good for £22 a pair, I sold them for roughly £45 a pair, and that was after all fees taken off, so business is good business 😀

I’m wearing a set of the fakes just now as it happens. I got them for 20 something quid off ebay as an experiment – they took literally months to arrive.

I also have two proper sets so I can make a pretty fair comparison I reckon.

The fakes are made of noticeably lighter weight material – they will definitely not last as long as the regular ones. I actually use them for xc/commuting duties ‘cos they’re so much cooler than the genuine ones. The fakes don’t have the internal hip pads like the genuine ones either.

The fit is a bit different too – mine are 32’s but they are more like the length of a genuine 34. I actually quite like that as I’m a lanky git.

The clip/ratchet thingy at the waist isn’t as good as on the genuine ones – sometimes it randomly loosens off a notch.

I’ll be getting more genuine ones next time, if the 2 sets I have ever die that is…

Yes it’s only some shorts but if you can’t afford something with a label the most needy thing to do is buy a fake with a label. Buy some nice unbranded shorts.

Bit of a stuck up attitude isn’t it? Some people can’t afford the genuine and so is nice for them to have a genuine copy, illegal or not, I can think of a lot worse that goes on and as if the government aren’t ripping us off! Screw the system and get what you can, unless your a middle class toff with no worries in the world aye mike? 😉

I call troll as well

Cheers PW obvious troll is well obvious, if not you just admitted to selling counterfeit goods. Did you declare it on your tax return?

I saw a man in a Ronaldo t shirt. Judging by his beer gut, it wasn’t him.
Where do I stand?

Thing is though, they are a very good pair of shorts for the money, mine did come with removable hip pads too. What good DH shorts can you buy for £27?

I bought some after looking at them for a few weeks and thinking ‘no, I don’t want them they will be s**t’, then I thought sod it they are only about £27 posted so I took a gamble. Turned up after three week and they seemed fine – came with hip pads too. Fit was good and had all they usual troy lee badges etc etc.

Anyway when you wear them I think they feel really sweaty and the material is definitely cheap. Also, one of the zips on the pocket was digging into my leg so I had to snip a bit of it off. The colour as well – I bought the red ones and they aren’t the same colour as troy lee’s red… but that didn’t bother me. Worst thing is your mates taking the pi** out of you for being a tight sod!

Overall, i’d buy another pair, cos they are cheap

i bought a pair a few months back and also got a pair from CRC years backs. they dont seem any different but for £25 you cant go wrong even if they last me 18 months of crappy welsh valley weather.
i would def buy another pair than get ripped off by TLD
