He charged my mate £80 for a set of 900s at epic so I hope they are real.

I thought that real ones had Dia Compe stamped in, under the sticker, and fakes just have a sticker.

generally find stamps on the backs of caliper arms (not actually stamps usually raised leterrin I think! All mine have been good uns from b

MX1000's should have the DC logo under the DC sticker on the front, on the rear they will be stamped Dia Compe MX1000.

MX900's only have Dia Compe and MX 900 stamped on the rear, I don;t beleive they have the DC logo under the sticker at the front.

Extremely likely that you've been fed a line of BS, Vert-ego's MX's are genuine, I've a set from him and they are right and proper. You can tell the Chang Star and Lee Chi ones a mile off as the quality of the forging (method of making them not forging as in fake!) is poor and the annoidising is not very good quality either.

biagio is straight up and down but some people dont like him - hence the bad press he sometimes gets.

Steve P · « **Reply #6 on:** December 05, 2006, 09:39 PM »

Yep . . . all mine have been the real deal so ignore the BS you've heard and go treat yourself

If the nuts are chromed steel they're copies, if they're alloy then they are D-C

theRuler · « **Reply #11 on:** December 05, 2006, 11:28 PM »

the alloy nuts are shit

you cant get em tight!
they may as well be made of pastry

Maybe you should have asked him yourself... before you posted this thread

Lot of talk doing the rounds about fake gear, and now MX brake sets on the is it or isn't it list... rightly or wrongly...

Who gave you this info and what proof do they have... or do they just want a cheap set of Black MX1000s?

Spill the beans...

The moody ones are easy to spot, the quality of the forging is usually enough without the need to look at the back of the calipers

othomas2 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 06, 2006, 04:32 AM »

they are probably fakes.

As the others say, load of BS !!

I've had loads of stuff off Biagio, and all has been spot on !! It'd not be worth his Rep to sell dodgy snides as original, as he knows quite a few of us on here, give this guy who told you a kick when you see him next !!

BTW: I know Biagio recently sold some Copy MX1000's, but they were sold as Copies and for about £30 - so there !

snav69 · « **Reply #19 on:** December 06, 2006, 02:16 PM »

I've had both mx900's and mx1000's from them and they were always legit

Will be buying more too

i have no problem with bagio, i have not said all his breaks are fake ,he does have some fakes (cw bars,etc) he marks them as such thats fine, now then beard there are enough topics and threads on the web vintage osbmx etc for me to get involved in and post on ,i dont get involved but if you have to know my take on things and its my opinion only ,i try to buy the rel deal for my builds 99% of my bikes are real nos parts however somtimes i cant get original stickers,pads,end caps for restored pedals etc so i buy reproduction ones ,i have no worries doing this so i would be a hypocrit if i slaged some sites of that offer reproduction parts.to clarify i think they are doing us a favour as long as the parts are labled as such and not as nos. and who is 69ir?

harris · « **Reply #21 on:** December 06, 2006, 03:39 PM »

i thought u was 69ner

relabled or repro

zeronine269 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 06, 2006, 03:51 PM »

im zeronine269 not 69er

sure harris as long as the reproducerers mark them as such and charge less for them its up to the individual to make his mind up wether to buy them or not . and for the record i am not saying baggios brakes are fake!!!
