The real deal or fakes

[ebenvn]

I was shopping around and got these 2 websites.... Prices looks good, but not sure if it is the real deal and legit? Anyone know anything???

 

http://www.sale-bikes.com/

www.janggabikes.com

I don’t think it is legit

 

R22 500 ($2,970.00) for a Specialized S-Works Epic 29er 2011 is a bit farfetched. Be very careful here

And the contact page says they are based in Indonesia. Their returns policy says you may not receive what you ordered and you will then be reimbursed including the shipping costs.... Ja right....

 

$3200 for a carbon Felt TT bike with Zipp wheels and Di2 groupset should give it away that these must be stolen if they are in fact really these.

You know what they say... If it sounds too good to be true...

A mate of mine's colleague in Dubai got taken by some Indonesian guys for 10k on a deal that was too good to be true. They requested direct cc payment as they said they "were in the process of registering with Paypal" Ja right..

sale-bikes.com is definitely not legit! they asking you to deposit money into their account. Jangabikes seems a lot more legit. They have website verification and you're able to make payment via paypal but at a surcharge of 10%.

 

Go with your gut though, if the prices seems to good then don't take the chance... I learnt this very hard lesson but not trusting my gut and then I got ripped off

I agree that the sale bikes one is fake, but not sure about the other one...

 

But too scared to give it a go! Anyone willing to be a tester?

Re Janggabikes. I would steer clear of them as well. Its 4th April and they are still running one Day Christmas specials!!

2 words Stay away

If u wanna buy fakes or blanks go to Dengfu or Cycling yong or Greatkeen

Best advice stay local if u want blank frames there are a lot of guys on the hub u can try
