I have checked numerous websites and the correct weight for this frame is around 1500g but this weighs 1925g so is slightly heavier than a original s-works frame.

What are you guys on about? Obviously the real thing. It evens says so on the decals. Specialized have clearly lied about the weight of their frames.

There's something very strange going on with the top-tube/down-tube junction. The welding looks incredibly messy. Also, I can't recall ever seeing a specialised with quite that shape in the junction.

Look like 2003 copies but the disc mounts, mech hanger, cable routing are wrong.

Reasonably good-ish copies. Let down by a few faults. Idiots trying to sell fake stuff lose!

Or is that my cat? Meh, both irritate me.

If they copy them though, dont they have to change certain points, because otherwise they will be infringing the copyright?!?!

No, they won't give a fu<b></b>c<b></b>k. The Specialized name/logo wouldn't be copied if they did.

No one gives a toss about copyright. You know when you have the real thing or a fake. The sad thing is theres plenty of tossers bidding on that crap just to have a bike to show off (which sadly mountain biking has a big percentage of).As long as theres whanks selling rubbish there`ll be whanks buying it.
I mean who needs the real deal for their roof rack and the odd red route?

Guess the frame in my picture!!!
