UCI frame logo
My UCI frame logo doesn't seem right... I thought the color order was blue, red, black , yellow, green.
The one on my frame starts with red, then blue, black, yellow, green. Also, its painted on. Not a sticker..

Was the bike purchased from a reputable retailer? Something like that could be a sign of a counterfeit frame...

I bought it second hand on face book marketplace. I'm starting to think its a counterfeit frame... I'm fairly new to road cycling and was excited to get my first carbon bike. Thought I could get a deal buying used.. lesson learned I guess..

I filed a police report against the guy but there's not much the police can do.
Simply put, I'm the dumba$$ that fell for it. end of story.

I think you're in real danger of having all of your UCI medals taken off you just by having that abomination in your house.

So odd. They made a bike that looks like the real thing (don’t know which one it is), and went through the trouble of forging the UCI sticker, got the sticker mostly right... but swapped 2 colors? When the logo is readily available online?
Sure, maybe it’s counterfeit. But that color swap almost seems deliberate.

Counterfeit what? Is there a recognizable brand name on the frame? Is someone is selling knock-offs of a reputable brand, that brand might want to know about it.
