    This may be a dumb question but are these OEM frames legal?

    Manufacturers are surely not keen on the practice and I would have thought they would be trying to stop factories selling their own, developed and presumably patent protected frames.

    What is going on here?

    It's alright everyone saying 'they're exactly the same, using the same lay up, same factory etc etc etc etc. But at the end of the day, they don't know that for a fact do they?

    If I were an unscrupulous factory owner in China and I thought I could shift a load of frames by saying they were exactly the same as the originals then that's what I'd probably say. Safe in the knowledge that no-one had any recourse to complain at all.

    Who knows?

    MUST be illegal, I'm sure they would be seized by customs if caught being imported...
