    if you have any doubts in your own mind then my advice is not to purchase, I have found that Ebay is sometimes (more often than not) more expensive than buying online from a reputable dealer or even your local bike shop... check out the classified section on here also!

    Feedback looks ok though
    Pictures are better than words because some words are big and hard to understand.

  • Ive always been a bit dubious about buying from ebay from places in hong kong or taiwan etc.. saying that though they have good feedback and free postage and have the best offer to save a few quid maybe. Merlin do the same bar for £65 also if you're airing on the cautious side.

    i've had a few bits and bobs from that side of the land, bike and non bike, never had any problems with any of it, service has been good!

    i got fsa K-Force bars for £45 from a place in HK and then just as they arrived CRC and Wiggle dropped the prices to match! typical hey!

    if your concerned then spend half an hour with google and type in the bar info and see what pops up!

    you could also get stung for import duty when it arrives in the country.

    Same comments as previous post really, I would add that most of the mountain bike parts are manufactured in Taiwan for major brands anyway, I wouldn't worry too much plus you are covered by Paypal.
