Aren't the real CK gripnutted ones 200 euro, 197 quid would make no sense from AliE.
Also we hijacked the thread like pirates.

I think they’re chancers?

I don't know what that means, the Aliexpress dude is selling knock off for the real deal? I'm confused as I'm not English.

I've never understood the buying fake anything really, you're only fooling yourself.

Yes, it means they're perhaps taking a chance selling a fake item as real.

If it is the case someone has bought one so it states...

Plenty of chancers on AE yeah. I don't really buy more expensive things on there unless I've established that the seller is pretty legit. My minivelo frame was one of the most expensive purchases on there.

I wouldn't buy a CK for anywhere near that amount, nevermind a fake one. Seller must have been drinking heavily

The non threadset Kings linked before are fake, made in China, even say "imitation". The other gripnut headsets are from a US seller advertising on Alibaba. The price & the fact that the seller is US based would likely guarantee they are real.

Although I'm sure there are other 100% fake free places to buy at a similar price: https://avt.bike/products/chris-king-gripnut-1-1-8-threaded-headset
