    I've not actually bought a frame.

    Did you even read the post...? :roll:

    I asked, this carbon frame, even though it's a replica, must surely be a bargain at £400.

    So examples of where you're wrong...? Hmmm, let me see now. :lol:

    It's becoming more apparent with each post why you didn't make the grade. :wink:

    I was wrong on all points, I apologise. I'm pleased that you didn't take the plunge.

    Well this winter I have been mainly riding around in "fake" Scott thermal tights and Jersey that cost me as little as £35 for the set.

    Tights are comfy and warm with a fantastic coolmax pad, jersey is a little baggy. My £4.99 Planet X gloves have been great too.

    Those purchased were because I ripped some tights from last year that cost me £70 and my Pearl Izumi £40 Gloves stitching fell apart.

    If anyone asks be clear to state it's not a fake but a homage to or pastiche of the artisan's original work, that you are honouring the master craftman's original camera mount masterpiece.

    And today I'm a winner.

    I found someone honouring the master craftsman's original work for the bargain price of £3.99 delivered.

    I appreciate some might saw it might break, but my original Gopro one at 4 times the price broke on its first outing.

    So maybe I am corrupt like Pete the Pilot says, or maybe I'm funding international terrorism and drug dealing as Phility3 says, but I still feel like a winner.... :D
