Hephaestus Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Some time ago we saw some Litespeed mountain bikes being advertised from Indonesia. The bikes were spec'd with the latest groupsets at unbelievable prices. Digging deeper my European partner contacted the sales director from Litespeed to query the adverts. It turns out that they were scammers using pics from a prototype bike being ridden by one of Litespeed's sponsored pro's that had been released a week before. These guys are on the ball & will take you for all they can. Steer clear of them! Hi Guys Im looking at bringing in some bikes from Indonesia and was wondering if anyone has ever dealt with Adira sport in Medan Indonesia? The bike prices seems to good to be true but if anyone has dealt with them please give me reviews on service and product quality. If I get good reviews from the guys that has dealt with them before the hubbers will be in for some good prices on Giant, Specialized and Cannondale bikes. Thank you for your reviews.
Eddy Merck - Indonesia Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Hi... i am sorry to inform you that the below is a fake shop, i have sent my relative to check it out. sad to say so many people are trying to scam by selling cheap bikes and frames. and this is not the first time we are being asked to check by our principal on the exact existence of this so called " premium bike shop" too good to be true is usually too good to be true i will attach a picture of the shop mentioned in this thread sorry for the small picture...

Daideron Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Be carefull, these are most definately scams. Take a look at these two frames and you'll clearly see why you pay so much for the one, and SO much more for the other.
stringbean Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Okay – normally those things are a total con!!! But at my cycling club there are two guys (father & son) who bought some top end bikes from somewhere in Asia (I think it was Indonesia). I know those two fairly well (not a story of – a cousins friend’s ex-girlfriend’s boss told them …).They got totally scammed and lost money. But wait there is more – then they decided to do it again but took a different approach. And it worked! Now they have two top end bikes with top components. The bikes are total eye-candy and cycling-porn!!!! Personally - i think you should stay away from this offer. Are you talking about the guys in the club that are riding chinarellos?Seen the bikes at the LBS but too scared to point it out to them in case they don't know they got fakes.
Daideron Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 But thats the chinarello at the bottom Correct. Its not even a convincing copy.

Beware...see below.* Unless you're prepared to get on a plane and go to Indonesia to meet your new business partners, stay the hell away. You are in for an assraping, and nobody enjoys that. Well, nobody +1. What he says :thumbup: Naaaah, nothing wrong with them, I brought in a fantastic Cervelo P4 from them. go for it. Ya silly clown. That could cost the man his wife... **Chap Bought in some Shimano components before. After much Skype and IR. Worked ok and prices really good, but then 'contact' disappeared... Then got onto a deal for some V10's and Mongoose DH machines, but as part of IR contacted Santa Cruz directly. Three hours later the site and all contacts......GONE! If you can fly, establish cred, and visit premises, it is worthwhile. Edited October 1, 2011 by The Drongo
