Looking for a Troy Lee D2 in XL size and found these on Ebay;
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361435125104

for a good price, trouble is the company also sell various forms of tat and pretty random stuff. A googling shows that its a 2014 model.

Their UK trading address is shared with a place that appears to do catalogue/supermarket returns of electrical items and last seasons stock.

They do a bit of random Troy Lee, ZIPP and SRAM stuff - but what do you reckon the chance of being fake is?

TIA

Looks legit to me, if you read through it does say for some of the Troy Lee pants that the stuff they sell is end of line or discontinued which is probably why the price is low.

Hard to say.. The sram x7 mech they have is about £5 cheaper than everywhere else at £30..so if that's fake they've been quite clever not to price it too cheap.

Thing with something like a helmet though.. There's a big fake market.. Ali express etc.. I probably wouldn't risk something critical like a helmet.

Not everything is fake just because its on Aliexpress. There is nothing to suggest those sram parts are fake. And the price is inline with anywhere else.

Never seen or heard of fake Sram parts and i doubt they are the first.

Can't see it being fake, it's the only one of it's type on the site and it's Mr Potato head sized. This is almost certainly overstock from somewhere

the mechs are not fake, they are not worth faking think about the manufacturing costs

The Spanish distributor for Troy lee went out of business about 2013 and sold all their stock v cheap. I got a D2 for €90 then. Might be something like that?

Just looks like a bedroom business with a Fishers account.
