Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Advice on fake frames
« on: May 13, 2023, 03:49:11 AM »I would really like to know how these manufacturers get their hands on the molds for these frames.
I’d imagine that Trek, Pinarello and the likes got an exclusive license for these molds when they have them made. But maybe that license expires at some point?
Do they just buy these molds on the open market? Or do they really go through the trouble of reverse copying them?
Going by the impeccable quality of my DogmaF from ali, I'd say they walk across the road to the legit. factory, ask for the new moulds then walk back with them. Now if someone can go grab the new DogmaXC moulds please...
