Looking for a new frame and found these on ebay...do you think they are genuine and if so worth the money (around £200 delivered to UK)

    Seems like a good deal. but this statement on their site would make me a bit suspicious -

    "Attention:if you also buy the sexy babydolls and other sexy lingeries which we list when you buy the TCR frame,the lingeries are for free shipping."

    Question 1. Where do Giant manufacture their frames?

    If they manufacture in China then its possible that these are genuine - althou they 'could' be factory rejects or whatever.... or completely genuine.

    Ask for a picture of the frame number - then contact Giant customer service etc and ask if that is a genuine stamp for that bike/model etc etc and see what they say?

    Be aware with any shipment that you'll be liable for any taxes (inport) at this end etc.

    Paypal wil refund you up to a certain amount if the item is not genuine. Check out their site for more info.

    However, the seller only has a feedback score of 10, and for some reason hides the item details in his feedback page. :?

    And for those reasons, I'm Out.
