Browsing for stuff I don't need and found the above.

" The serial number must be deleted before sending !!"

Why? Fake? Stolen? Super cool hyper unreleased tech just for me?

I'll add QC factory fail being sold on the grey market to your list ๐Ÿ™‚

If you have to ask...

Fear not, I think it's just French.

If you need any more proof of its illegitimacy, just look at the number of buyers whose names are swearwords!

Yep, factory fail is possible. Now, if it was the REAL factory is another matter entirely! So, could well be fake AND factory fail.

Caveat emptor.

My money is on OEM parts. They're selling straight steerer 26" Epixon forks which isn't something you'd see sold separately these days

Do tredz grind off the serial numbers before sending them to you?

aliexpress.com - That's all you need to know ๐Ÿ˜‰

Possibly the stuff comes from the same factory, just maybe not via legit routes, or they're rejects/seconds, maybe legit sold on or not.

The serial number, might be like factory outlet stuff where the labels are cut off, to prevent you from getting a cheap "seconds" and returning it to a store for a full price refund.

Buyer protection through AliExpress is bloody good. I'd take a punt!
