Anyone used 21cycles.com?

Pretty much as the title says - has anyone got any experience of this online German bike retailer?

http://www.21cycles.com/cy_en/

They seem to have some great deals on 2012 stock at the moment - seriously considering ordering from them.

Thoughts?

Hmm site looks a bit suspect, but hard to tell because it's all in german.

As the rule goes - "If you have to ask .... "

Not the best website, why .com for a german company when most are .de, domain setup in Dec 2010 by a USA based domain 'robot' company and still US owned.

Too many questions for me, also if you check out German price comparison sites they come out cheapest A LOT, which is a common tactic of scammers, although could be legit as well of course.

Thanks for the replies.

Think you're right - google throws up very little about them other than the fact that 21cycles is one of three sites (with 21run & 21streetwear) that's linked to a retail store in Germany. No recommendations, reviews, trading info etc, so I've decided it's not worth the risk; I'm gonna order a nice new Canyon instead!

Shame though, some great deals on there.

lol, talk about paranoia, website looks totally legit. Why does a german site use a .com suffix? same reason any website who ships internationally uses a .com suffix.

The whois information is also quite clear http://whois.domaintools.com/21cycles.com

If you click about us on the 21cycles.com website, you get the same address and even a picture of their store. They even have a corporate website:

What more do you need? And I assume you'll be paying by credit card?

I'm never used them before personally but would do without any worries.
