Anyone bought from www.trailheadbikes.com?

Looks like a scammer to me, i.e. homemade website, will only accept Bank Transfer/MoneyGram over $1000, residential location when address is entered into Google Maps, etc., but I thought I'd ask anyway.

The main reason I'm looking at their site is that I'm after a 2009 Specialized Sirrus Pro and they seem to be the only place that sell one.

Not necessarily a scammer but there's no way in hell I'd risk that much cash mail ordering a bike from the states.

Leisure Wheels look like they might have one in stock?

Unfortunately, the Leisure Wheels site is quite out of date as I called them last week to place my order and they only have the 2011 model.

Indeed, no email address and nothing else on the web about them . . . and they've supposedly been trading since 2004. :roll:

Thanks for confirming, gents.
