Officially the most counterfeited brand on eBay!

At the very bottom of the page which lists the advert, is an update as follows :
"The Bike is a Replica of a Colnago Frame but still a great looking bike with 100% Campagnolo components"
. . . Not quite 100%, the crankset is Sunrace.

...not to mention the seatpost, headset, pedals and front hub.
I mentioned this discrepancy to him. He called me a prick.
It's rubbish that he's been pulled up for selling something that's not a Colnago as a Colnago without having to change the title of his listing to include a word such as "fake", "counterfeit" or "travesty". He doesn't even have to say anywhere what the frame actually is. Shabby.

It's very shabby indeed; be interesting to know, what the frame was originally.
Even if the new owner knows it as a fake, what about subsequent owners ? With the best will in the world, it is quite likely, that in the not too distant future, someone will buy it, believing it is a 'real' Colnago.

You might try reporting it to Colnago themselves, they are very tight on brand integrity, and originally deal with this sort of stuff on eBay on a regular basis.
If H Lloyd can get a few Reynolds 531 decals pulled because he bought limited 'rights' to the copyright, surely anyone can!
