Same leaning spot as Pistoffski's imitation Pinarello?!

Why do you say "imitation"? Have I missed something?

I'm pretty sure I saw that Pinarello on ebay not long back, same spec, same paint, and the seller said the only thing Pinarello about it was the decals... if I'm wrong, please, someone correct me.

oops. bloody nice bike though.

so...do you own the merckx too?

Seems to be a bit of an unnecessary question.

Is the Merckx a funny shape, or is it a dodgy camera?

Camera is too close to the bike to calculate that stuff from a photo, the bike's not lined up with the camera either.

Unless tester can tell us the lens length used those angles are guesswork.

I didn't think Merckx would actually build something that shape, it was more a comment on how shit the picture is.

This thread needs a minimum focal length rule :-)

Eddy Merckx didn't build it ;)

Can you see this man with a blowtorch in hand and goggles on face?

I can't see the photo, but through powers of assumption I can imagine it is Eddy Merckx building a frame, which doesn't prove anything as I never stated he has never built a frame, just not that particular frame (along with other Eddy Merckx branded frames).

If my assumption was wrong then disregard this post.

I'm with you, Eddy never built that frame. And I'd be surprised if he built more than a few in his life to be honest, if any at all.

Jesus, next you two will be telling us Ernesto doesn't build all the Colnago frames?! You should colab on a book exposing all these frauds!

So there isn't a Giant fella setup in Taiwan and building millions of frames each year?

:(

Chris Boardman isn't sitting in an oxygen tent laying up carbon?

I am disappoint.

There there, have a cuppa and a hug, it'll be alright. ;)

it will not be alright

Don't be so negative
