...so they probably are(?).
Specifically I'm looking at the Felt F4 2010 for £824. A bike that retails at over £2k but is being sold here at less than half the price. Tell me the catch...
It's a company based in Indonesia but they say they ship all over the world. I just went through the order process using fake details and they give you confirmation that the order is placed and then ask you to contact the store via email to arrange to pay for it. It all seems a bit weird. Does anyone have any experience of them? I can't say I'm not tempted, but I can't find any info on the company. If something seems too good to be true, then it probably is, so I'm not going to be ordering from them. It's too much money to lose on a 'punt'.

I am sure it makes perfect sense to buy a bike from Indonesia. You will no doubt get good customer service, next day return of faulty parts, and a nice bag of Haribo every time you order!!"Encyclopaedia is a fetish for very small bicycles"0

I don't know why so many people fall for these, it's not difficult to do a bit of background checking or ask around.Bianchi C2C - Ritte Bosberg - Cervelo R3
