Ever heard of, or bought from Bellatisport?

Correct, NONE of the available brands (LOOK, Bianchi, Colnago, Pinarello, BMC, Cervello, Willier, …) list Bellati as a retailer. Prior to responding here to someone’s post, I had already contacted several of those manufacturers’ “global” division and asked about this situation. Clearly, Bellati has been selling for decades and none of those companies have shut it down so legally it must be not a problem (vendors selling counterfeit products while trying to pass them off as legit usually do get shut down unless they acknowledge it is a “replica” or something like that). Some companies responded to me and said that they don’t know where the bikes are coming from and that they cannot confirm whether they are authentic or not. Cervelo was most direct in saying they would not honor the warranty, that is why I wondered you had been able to confirm that yours was the real deal (some counterfeit bikes cannot be distinguished from the real deal without up-close inspection by the manufacturer). LOOK simply ignored the question and said they recommend buying from a local dealer (yes, of course, I know that). Pinarello said a buyer could send pictures of the bike and serial number and they could confirm if the bike is authentic.

My current subjective non-expert assessment is that they are indeed authentic but grey import bikes and frames. Which is not bad. :slight_smile:
