(spomer here editing this. if it is a scam, i dont' want the link in the forum). you can delete the entire post if you'd like. the .store URL is suspect. i'm stoked you're looking out for your fellow MTBer!

I am about 2000% sure it is a scam just wanting to seek your guys opions.

No screenshot? How can we know what to avoid of we can't identify it?

Use https://www.scamadviser.com/ when shopping online if you are not sure. Usually with bikes, if it is too good to be true it is.

They deleted my link because they don’t want me to use the link in the forum. But they have a carbon bike cheaper than a aluminum bike

Just look at the prices, fake. Besides the web site is only 8 days old.

You would have to be dumb as a rock to think this was legit. Even if the prices were tripled..

Definitely a swindle. The address given is an empty lot. The domain is registered in China and the ip location is around Wichita Kansas - VPN? Fairly decent website though - above average for a scam ?

I just read a bunch of warnings about the domain registrar running other scam websites such as RC cars, Asics shoes, NFL jerseys, etc... They take your money for a product and after that you never hear from them.

Feels weird that people still fall for such things in 2018...
