    Looking for a Pinarello Prince? This ad looks a bit odd.

    Alarm Bells:
    1) Not advertising it as a Pinarello.
    2) Price for bike way less than for frame alone.
    3) MOst wheels advertised as MOG7.
    4) Rear stay doesn't have the wave in it.
    5) Stickers look odd compared to the real thing......

    Be careful folks.

    The thing about Alibaba is that the sellers can 'buy their ratings' so even if their rating say's 'Gold seller 1 year' kinda thing it means nothing. A few reputable sellers trade there so best not to use a big brush full of tar

    Its incredible to think that one could get caught out if:rolleyes: this bike is indeed not a genuine pinarello prince ,when you look at both bikes together ie:the real one and the above one its amazing the little differences that are there .

    You are all right on this one - definitely not a genuine Price BUT, funnily enough, it doesn't seem bad value - full carbon, 2010 Ultegra, Wheels & Tubs? Is it real Ultegra I wonder?

    EDIT - Thought it was €2k - €2,600 isn't such a bargain
