| Knock Off Items - Being Passed Off
Is it just me, or are you guys seeing the same thing...
Some of these guys/companies are parting out Chinese bikes, putting their name on it and calling it a 'great' part. They are building up their companies name and then selling junk and telling you/us it's great stuff...
Some of the swingarms I see being offered are nothing more than knock off bike swingarms - by well known companies.
One of the famous bike brands is a knock off bike, and they take the manufactures name off it, and put theirs on it...
One company looks like it's selling chinese frames that nobody would want, and telling everyone how great they are - of course they are wearing the companies logo...
Bad trend here - some of the well known pitbike companies are turning into nothing more than "chinese part out" companies...
Funny thing is they all bad mouth the knock off bikes, to make their products look better - and uhhh hey isn't that the bike they are selling? Yeah it is isn't it.
I tried a little test a while back and asked everyone if they knew what brand of bike something was - because it looked EXACTLY like a very popular off brand bike that everyone rides. Nobody knew what the bike was but one person... the person/company that sells the same knock off bike spoke up and said "Oh thats a so and so bike"... which confirmed my suspicions that this is what they were selling with their label on it.
Oh well my rant is over - anyone else seeing this trend?
