So what's your question ? No need to beat around the bush in these parts, we aren't squeamish .....
Is it fake - who can say, first flag - looks replated - so I wouldn't bother with it.

Why does he think Juan is an authority on phaze 1's? Because he bought the CW mark, I guess?

My EXACT thought Steve. Juan stepped onto the scene, spent a ton of loot and hes a expert now. I went a little over board with my responses/bashes....

What I don't like is the seller is using Juan as a cover to pass it off as real. Who is to say what Juan is actually referring to in the email? For all we know this seller showed Juan a pic of a different bike and asked him to confirm that it wasn't a fake? Any time a seller gets so defensive when you ask a simple question or has bad photos I try to stay away. For $2300 I think it's only appropriate to have your questions answered in a respectable way and for better pictures to be posted.
On a side note I used to collect sea shells as a kid. I've recently gotten back into it a little bit and was looking at some shells for sale the other day online. I came across a web site selling a huge inventory of stuff. The site went on to list thousands of shells that were fakes that people were bleaching and painting to look like rare and unique shells. All the while these shells are only worth like $5-$40. It was a real shock to me that someone would go out of their way to fake something like that. Considering a CW Fase 1 can bring in $1,000 I think it's safe to say anyone in the market to buy one should be very cautious.

Abozny, you are pro enough to see that! Obvious.
Thanks man. I am no expert on CWs, I just remember that whole post and the funky angles on the frame, which you're right, I could see.
Looks like that guy got exposed on the museum as well.

Im updating this post due to more developments on another site involving this seller

one of this sellers threads was completely removed from the boards. why? dont have a frickin clue , because this thread contained a ton of useful info on this deuche bag. He has been trying to peddle the white one now after getting slammed on the chrome fake one. I believe it started out as a og finish f/f, then turned out to be not only refinished, but repaired.
Please be very careful. Apparently he has several different usernames. And doesnt have a problem with stealing others pictures and photoshopping them for his own use.

You mean his business model for the new CW isn't making him any money?
What a shame...
