Andre_MTB Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Hi hubbers, I was wondering who of you have happened to come across this site http://sandikawibisana.com/There's some ridiculous low prices on complete bikes... I mean crazy.... (Go check this out '09 GT carbon Marathon) Could this be real or am I dreaming??What is a man to make of this? ...can I have the sub 9kg Mtb and a order of large fries to go with that, please
pastapouch Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 probably all stolen... why 09? If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

patches Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 GT Fury carbon fibre DH bike for $2299, with Boxxer WC and full Saint... ummm... wow! Either some Somlalian pirates got hold of a GT container and sold it to the indonesians for bags of rice... ...or this a charity organization who's aim is to kit out "aspiring riders" (like myself, hahaha) with sick bikes at crazy prices... either way... wish I had R2299!

No guinea pigs need be burned for this scam.

Tiny K Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 http://www.bikeradar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=16200071 Nice link! I see loads of guys have been scammed!
Shebeen Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 C"mon guys, I was hoping one of the powerbalance crowd would go for the bait and start asking these questions!
patches Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 ok, ok fine! I'll do it... I'll take one for the team and be a guinea pig... I'm gonna need support though, so donate to my 'Patches wants a cheap GT Fury so will test the site out for you' fund, and I'll see if these are scammers or not... cos I'm considerate like that! hahaha!
gongmech Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 Any bike stuff out of Indonesia is usually a SCAM. Loads of people have been scammed using Alibaba.com when trying to find reliable international distributers. I know..i'm one of the suckers. Luckily my fingers weren't badly burnt because my bank warned me, but curiosity got the better of me. Also be wary of India, and all the Philipino countries and some of the Chinese dealers. It's difficult to source actual products unless you go there yourself.
Redline Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 C"mon guys, I was hoping one of the powerbalance crowd would go for the bait and start asking these questions! no way, as soon as you put on your power pufter bangle you see right through these sort of things!
jmaccelari Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 Check out: http://togoparts.com/forum/showthread.php?fid=1&tid=63267 They don't do cash 'n' carry - probably because they don't have any bikes. SCAM!
