If they are fakes, there’s not much you can do except advertise it as a replica and try to sell it to recoup some of your loss. If they are OEM, meaning that they are from Cervelo and Fulcrum, but just made for the OEM market, then you’ve got no problems. There’s a difference between OEM and replicas. From what you’ve mentioned, you’ve got replicas. Actually, I don’t think Cervelo makes any OEM frames. Fulcrum is supplying wheels to manufacturers who have specialized accounts as OEM.

How do I know the difference between a copy and oem? I need to sell a 2012 cervelo s5 plus a pair of fulcrum wheels but I won’t if they’re fakes. I was told they were oem. How do I know? Thanks for your help!

Hello Range,

I came across your blog at the tail-end of an exhaustive search for additional information on bikes from Taichung Cityn Guangzhou, et al.

Even with friends on Hong Kong and personal experience of visiting China one or more times every year, I have had a hard time finding reputable suppliers. The fact that sites like Alibaba are riddled with scam artists does not help.

The bottom line is I am looking to purchase overruns, closeouts, leftovers of high-quality branded bikes. From 2009 – 2012 models. Road, TT/Tri, Mountain categories. Brands such as Cervelo, Scott, Felt, Cannondale, Trek, Look, etc. etc.

My contact information is below. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for all your hard work here.

Thanks,

Hello here.
I have been reading and learning from all post here.
I have found out tat there are very very great deals to do on the net.
Companies like:
Gotobike
ADK
Advangroup
Tankcycle
They all make great carbon bikes and sell them cheap to private customers, As Range said earlier ADK have been making frames for well known brands, and there products are very very good quality.
As for Matrix and RTS frames, buy MATRIX, because it is the same bike, just cheaper, a lot cheaper, and very very good quality, and there wheels are also very good.
Waiting for any comments.
Brian

Hi Maria.
i don’t know exactly wich brand you can go for 400usd, but i think you can make a good deal around that money. depends on the new brands, and depend how big the brand grown in the last years. ususally small brands or manufacturers sell their products with no problem at all. if grown a lot, they will not care about selling to you…
regarding sram products i think you can get it there with complete bike, but if you want to buy separatly i have my doubts, but if you’re buying many groupset, try to contact sram guys there, and they will sell to you, even if not immediattely, cause usually sram takes 30 to 60 days to deliver complete parts for bicycle mounts.
FSA i have no clue.
just go and try
cheers

Maria — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 00:42:18 +0000

Hi Bruno,
Saw your post. What bikes are these that will go for around 400USD. Are these OEM Taiwanese bikes? I have been checking Trigon and Velocite.
although Velocite XS bikes are still way too big for me. Any leads on the brands of these bikes would be great.
Do you think you can get deals from FSA or SRAM? Thanks.

Hi Joe. do you need to go on Taipei next week? why don’t you wait and combine your trip to TAIPEI CYCLE SHOW?7-10 march.
this is the most important event from bicycle world, before Eurobike and interbike, this is where the main products are shown first. if you can wait and combine, you can make a good deal around 400usd.
tahnks and best regards
Bruno

Range, I will be in Taipei next week on business and wanted to shop for a carbon frameset in 61cm size. Any good local offerings for a single frameset purchase of that size in the 600 USD range?

By: range

range — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 00:13:31 +0000

I find it hard to compare Trigon frames to anything that’s made by a big company, even Giant, especially the stuff like the Colnago C59 that’s still handmade in Italy. Naturally, all copies are illegal, which is one of the reasons why I don’t sell any. In the end, you get what you pay for.

By: Maria Lilian Fritts

Maria Lilian Fritts — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 23:24:05 +0000

Hi,
What I mean is Colnago & Pinarello copies in Taiwan – who sells them? Don’t you think it’s illegal? Thanks.

By: Maria Lilian Fritts

Maria Lilian Fritts — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 23:22:40 +0000

Who sells these Colnago & Pinarello in Taiwan? Don’t you think it’s illegal? How about the real Taiwanese bike like the Trigon RQC29 which is their flagship bike? How is this bike comparable in performance to Colnago C59 or Pinarello Dogma or Prince? Thanks.

By: range

range — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 09:08:57 +0000

The Chinarellos aren’t comparable to the copies made in Taiwan. They cost about $400. You get what you pay for. As for Colnago dupes, they can be found if you come to Taiwan. I don’t know anyone who still sells them.

By: Maria Lilian Fritts

Maria Lilian Fritts — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 20:46:33 +0000

Hi Fraser,
How much was the price of your Chinarello Dogma and where did you purchase it? Have you built up the bike yet? If yes, how’s the performance? I was also looking into a Colnago EPS copy but was hesitant on its performance once built. Any update from your end would be great.

Hi Range,
I am planning to go to Taiwan this coming May. Where can I find bike parts? I bought a Pinarello Prince with Campy Super Record from an authorized dealer and have been loving the bike. Are there deals to buy a bike in Taiwan even copies of Colnago and Pinarello? I also want to buy bike parts such as handlebars, etc. Any advice. Thank you.

By: Norton Vogt

Norton Vogt — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:53:37 +0000

This might be off topic but does anyone know:

1. If Dahon folding bicycle company actually manufactures their frame sets? If not, what Chinese companies manufacture the frame sets?

2. The name of a Chinese company or reseller where I can purchase Dahon folding bicycles or frame sets, or copies of the same incorporating Dahon-licensed technology?

3. If you don’t know or if it’s too far off topic, do you have any suggestions on the best way to find out the answers to the preceding questions.

Hi Range,
the new style carbon track frame from China what is the brand name the produce for. I am not certain it is close to Corima

By: Fraser

Fraser — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 22:34:59 +0000

Hi Aidan
I havent built the bike up yet. The frame looks very impressive although I have since read some adverse postings on ‘Chinarello’ frames (the UK’s name for imported Pinarello copies from China). So I’m not sure what the frame will be like to ride once built up.

There is a site with a small amount if info on these frames http://chinarello.wordpress.com/.

Hope that helps you out.
Fraser

Hi Fraser

i’m also following this blog and was wondering what was the quality of the frame you received.?

Fraser — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 20:29:58 +0000

Hi Range
I have been reading through your interesting blogs. I have naively purchased a Pinarello Dogma 60.1 frame from China(Guangdong) and have since read reviews.

My actual plan is to offer bespoke build bikes to customers under my own branding.

Could you advise whether there are any manufacturers in Taiwan who offer frames to order? Also do you know of any manufascturers in Europe who may be able to offer this service??

I think my email mirrors a previous email which I have detailed below.

Many thanks
Fraser

…..I am interested in importing carbon bikes, accessories, bike parts and clothing and am wondering if you have access or can locate any of these goods. I am in the Uk and I am looking at importing cycling equipment. I have a few questions:-

regarding carbon bikes, are you able to source branded bikes and are they cosiderably cheaper than prices in the Uk? As the likes of pinarello are painted & badged up in Italy is it still possible to get them from the Taiwan fully badged up?

Are you able to source branded bikes conponents such as shoes, wheels, groupsets, pedals, clothing from your contacts in China or Taiwan.

I look forward to hearing from you soon Range.

Best regards
Mark

Selling fakes is a dangerous game, even if you run a small operation. It opens you to lawsuits from clients and companies. I’d stay away from the fakes on Alibaba and try to find some good OEM products that potential clients might buy.
