For reference, I added some pictures:

Few things say "my frame is fake" louder than riding a Factor with Elite wheels with the logos :)
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

Looks great, how are you liking the frame?

Thank you and I like the frame for my usage it's perfect.

Thank you Serge, I agree that I basically don't need to say that it's fake because there are Elite Wheels on it, However I don't mind and I get a lot of compliments, also there exist fake Black Inc wheels as well.

Thank you Lotnik, and yes you are right Wheeltop also indicates that it is a fake, imitation or replica frame. However I like how it works and not everyone is riding with a fake factor with elite wheels and Wheeltop. Nevertheless I enjoy riding it even though some people here on the forum don't like it, and that's also okay because it's not their bike and they also don't need to ride it.

Unfortunately, for your comment the Q-rings Rotor is real... The crankset and powermeter are also quite "fake" It's a Lexon with Xcadey. Padels are original Speedplay, but the spindles that were steel did I replaced for "fake" titanium ones.

and to top it off I bought training wheels from Tagoola which are 1/3 of the price from the Elite wheels. Some will use Elite wheels as training wheels as replacement for their black inc wheels for good weather or races, and I use Tagoola ones for training wheels (winter/rain) and my Elite drives for nice weather. See the picture as the attached reference. also In the current state on the image as weighted: 7,00 kg
