I emailed the guy asking 3/32 or 1/8
Off course I'll only buy them if they are 1/8 but damn these things are pricey, over 200£ shipped.
Don't have a final price yet, but for sure I would sell the others here or to friends -

Audit the seller, not just the deal.
For example, I would trust you a lot less (joined LFGSS Dec '15) than I would BigH (joined LFGSS May '09).
And as ever, "if it's too good to be true..."

Yeah I hear you. You have to start somewhere, I just moved to London so of course I am new to the forum.
For the chainrings, I got two contacts via Pedalroom and their are in China so I am not quite sure how to audit these people...
One of the sellers has two and confirmed 1/8 and would pay via Paypla, I need to check how protected I am with that.

sadly yes, these things are ridiculously and you are not buying for performance price ratio but more for the rarity of the part :(

I personally wouldn't trust anything coming from the east >>>
Wait and im sure you will pick one up for around £150 on here ebay or maybe pedalroom.. If I dont get it first myself :-P

Well... this turned out not the way I expected. When I email the guy saying I would take 2 off his hands and if we could exchange details and is there any kind of proof he could give me that these are not fakes it would be much appreciated (I copied a link of Chinese ones you can buy a bundle of for nothing).
He answered back that he was not Chinese but Japanese...
Seems like I might have offended him because he is not answering any of my emails
Hey guys,
Need some advice here. I might be able to get my hands on 4 chainrings. I only want one but I know how rare these are and would consider buying all 4 and selling 3. Would try and negotiate prices and bring shipping costs down etc. but would have to avoid taxes...
The only thing I was wondering is are they any fakes out there? And is it worth going thought this trouble. Originally I wanted to switch my Factory5 to a Aarn (wish I had gotten my hands on the snow camo one)...
