Legitimate question - What purpose would leaning into such investigative questions serve as a consumer looking to purchase clearly a fake/copy/unauthorized frameset?

One could argue it's about safety, production quality, or even integrity. I'd argue to probably look elsewhere for frame if any of those metrics are critical. I'm not saying consumers should throw all caution to the wind when buying fakes/copies. But there's an unspoken understanding that even TanTan expects the customer to abide by.

I don't go asking escorts about their history and business practices if all I want is a good time. And also the ease of just leaving the money on the night stand. I kid I kid  ;D

Hmmmm point taken.
It would  provide  maybe a little more peace of
Mind perhaps to the purchase to know the origin of
the frame, as if they are a manufacturer well it silly they have made the frame.
But I have learned this is not always the case.

Curious to see how it rides. I was just quoted just under 2k usd for a wheeltop build with the standard 50mm deep wheels. Crazy value if it rides even 80% of an actual sl8.

I'm still on the fence on this one as waiting for some reviews.
But obviously it would be interesting to to compare it to my SL8.
