I have come across a website at www.bellsbikeonline.com. Prices are in Rands but telephone numbers are for the UK. Seemed strange so I contacted their helpdesk. They claim to have a warehouse in SA, but operate out of the UK. They also have really good prices on, for example, a Cannondale Rusk 1 29er, 2014 model (R16.5k). I called them and they say I can pay, amongst others, via Paypal. This price is about R6k cheaper than anything I have come across in SA, which has me wondering, is this too good to be true? Has anyone ever used them and did you get what you paid for?

Hello There, This bike is amazing and is hands down the best race bike out there. This is a 2014 Santa Cruz Bronson C- Enve, small. This bike is unbelievably fast and has been amazing for me. I am sad to see it go, The bike is in great condition, has been properly maintained, has never been laid down or abused in any way. it comes with a clean title and the price I'm selling it for R18,000, which is includes all charges.I live in Kakamas In the Northern Cape, but I will be Returning back to the U.S.A( Atlanta GA) and I'll be moving there permanently within the next few months and I can't afford the luxury of taking the bike with me so I decided to let it go.
