Hi all,

Has any one had any experience with global-cycles.com? They have some great deals on groupsets and some frames, but I'm very cautious as I can't seem to find much about them else where and you have to pay by bank transfer...

They are based in Jakarta as well so I can't go and bang on their door if they don't deliver!

any word would be great!

    Forget it. Many other threads on here about Indonesian scam websites for bike bits.

    It's a scam.

    It's in Indonesia and you have to pay by bank transfer! They don't come much dodgier than that!
