No idea, but it might depend whether there was any courting first. You know, did they do anything like going to a mooovie first?

I agree. I watched a few of his 'analysis' videos some time ago and they are uniformly crap. It's just an ego trip.

I'm diabeitc, they're runied anyway
The sunglasses debate was had on another Ali Express thread and my opinion remains; there isn't really a guide to the brittle nature or otherwise on plastcis used here or in copies, i believe most come out of the same factory and the risk of incident alongside the exact disaster required is damn small.
My last crash involved some 90's Jolly sunglasses with metal arms...
It won't be hard to make carbon frame these days, technology is decades old now. As long as the rest of the bike is brand name stuff like Shimano I can't see how these things aren't a deal sometimes.
I know someone will know someone who knew someone who's frame snapped at 100mph downhill and it was so bad they had to be resurrected on an Easter Sunday but my chinese carbon is still going strong after 3 years disaster free.
Do people really pay a grand for fakes?
£12 on a jersey or sunglasses is about my risk appetite!
Nothing much can go wrong with a jersey - but fake sunglasses can be very brittle. Not what you want near your eyes.
Also be wary of fake sunglasses not protecting your eyes from UV. If the lenses are dark, but there's not UV filtered out by some clever tech, your eyes will actually receive more UV than if you weren't wearing any sunnies. Your eyeballs dilate behind the dark lens, so take in more UV if it's getting through. And you only get one pair of eyes to use
For sh!ts and giggles I made an offer of £100 on one of these
