Anyone purchased from padangbikes.com?

[a4a]

padangbikes.com has some deals that are almost too good to be true. Anyone have experience with them?

I don’t know for a certainty, but if it’s like the multitudes of other Indonesian ‘bargain’ bike shops I’ve seen in the past, it’s a flat out SCAM. if it’s too good to be true...it is.

Plus if you look at some of their major brands, TREK and SPECIALIZED to name two, those manufacturers don’t allow mail-order sales,

Yeah... My heart says "Look at that great deal!" My head says, "Look at that great deal... smh."

Indonesia?? Pfff.... last year remember a thread about a couple of those hard to believe asian sites, nobody I know had the courage to buy from them... buy something and let us know ;)

I attempted a Google streetview of the address. I'm going to say with confidence that this is best avoided.

Old spud did order a set of cranks I think, for fun. Don't think he received them though.

Thanks. Just proves the old saying, "If it looks too good to be true, it probably it."
