Title: MX1000 - real or fake?
Post by: adiec72 on December 13, 2006, 09:48 AM: can anyone tell me how to differentiate between authentic MX1000's and really good copies? I have a nice pair of anodised blue for sale and want to make sure I get the right price.

Cheers

Post by: MartyC on December 13, 2006, 11:49 PM: Real ones will have MX1000 or MX900 stamped on the back of the caliper arms, some MX1000's will have DC under the sticker on the front, washers will also say Dia Compe :daumenhoch:
