Certainly here in New Zealand some retailers do get bikes/frames through other channels than the official importer. They are still definitely the real thing.
But as you said they could still be authenticated from the manufacturer.

the seller cyclexclusive.com is not on it in Netherlands.
"Absent authentication directly from Pinarello, I think you could be satisfied this is a fake, regardless of appearance." I don't understand what it mean?

the method I know if a seller is a authorized seller is that I look into in Dealers ? CICLI PINARELLO SRL here,
the seller cyclexclusive.com is not on it in Netherlands.
"Absent authentication directly from Pinarello, I think you could be satisfied this is a fake, regardless of appearance." I don't understand what it mean?

You have your answer. I believe the avoidance of the seller to be direct is already an indication that he is scamming you.

Most modern bikes use an ISO thread standard for the bottom bracket. The left side thread is a right-hand direction thread, which tightens clockwise and removes counter-clockwise. This standard is also called English or BSC. The right side (drive side) thread is a left-hand thread, which tightens counter-clockwise and remove clockwise. There are some exceptions to the ISO. Bikes made in Italy may use “Italian” threading, with both drive and non-drive sides right hand thread.

The frame may not be counterfeit, but certainly shows signs of being used.

Jury is still out on wether it's a fake or not. Maybe it's just a "reject" or "new with defect" if there is such a thing. Build it, ride it, and forget about it! Although I admit I'd always have that nagging feeling in the back of my mind...

Let me go back to my original reply - It's not a Pinarello.
Your seller didn't want Paypal because Paypal will allow you as the buyer to file a complaint and get your money back. He wanted a bank transfer because those are not reversible. He is not answering questions because it is fake. Duh. Like we have all said since the start.
You have purchased a frame of one of the most faked brands out there from a non-authorized dealer for an amount much lower than legitimate pricing. You have bought a fake. Enjoy.
Slap some "Zapp" wheels on there build it up with some "Shizmanto" components and you'll have what we like to call the "Going to the dentist" special. A real one is what we call the "I'm a dentist" special.

As seen in the other thread- OP is going to contact Pinarello on Monday. All will be resolved. Will it be a real deal/ smart shopper or embarrassing fake that should be rattle canned. The suspense....
