They look a bit suss to me.
Prices in US $, payment to Chinese / Indonesian addresses only by Moneygram / Western Union, suspiciously cheap delivery...
But they do have a bike in that I want at a good price.
Anyone dealt with them before?

    You've more than likely answered your own question! If the bike price smells of sh*te then it will be sh*te

    mmm yes, or non-existent?

    The Bacikle place at least has an address in Jakarta plus phone number and contact details, and has a website like a normal bike-shop ... Can't see much on t'internet about it though.

    A shop in Jakarta??? For Christ's sake you'd be better off burning your pile of notes because it will at least keep you warm for a few seconds.

    Commonsense please.

    If you're still considering going ahead, search just this site for "Indonesia" and then make your mind up.
