they are legit but very small staff during pandemic and were slow with communication. Otherwise, I've had great dealings with them.

i would see if you can call them.

i get nervous these days with smaller sellers that may not have the most sophisticated ecommerce systems. it was less of a big deal in the days of old, but these days i would want to confirm something listed as in stock physically exists before placing an order.

Before March 2020, they carried very little and had to order everything. I doubt that has changed.

I have had good dealings with them on Campy and the occasional Shimano need.

I sent them an email and they got right back to me.....good stuff!!

Too bad what I wanted and appeared to be in stock on the website, is actually out of stock and needs to be ordered from distributor.

I appreciated the quick reply though...and might try them for some other stuff.

They are good folks usually with fast shipment even when they need to pull from disty. They should be able to give you a lead-time estimate.

It's been a few years since I've bought from them, but Clive was super responsive, knowledgeable and a super good dude. From my experiences, they get high marks.

I've always had good communication with them but seems as though very little is actually in stock.
I cant believe that has improved with current supply conditions throughout the industry.

I assume you want carbon but just in case, I have a 44mm Wing Pro bar (aluminum). Never used, $40 + shipping.
