    I came across Fastracycles.com who have a shiny website and some incredible deals. I contacted them for photos proving genuine Specialized – none forthcoming. Shipping £190 ….. but must be a scam?! Indonesian. I don’t suppose anyone has bought a bike?

    If it looks too good to be true…..

    Payment info:

    “For administrative completeness of our company, please confirm to us your payment by giving scanned/screenshoot/copy/photo of your payment proof if you have made a payment, so we can confirm it to our administration staff. And then we will immediately process your order shipping by giving you the tracking number from the shipping company. And the tracking number will given at least 1-2 days after payment is made”

    Scam for sure.  No legit company would accept a screenshot or photo of a payment as actual proof of payment.  It’s paid when the money is in the account or an independent third party says it’s paid. Payment methods include Paypal, Visa..but also WU, MoneyGram….  My guess is that PP and Visa will experience a ‘technical issue’ and that you’ll the be directed to WU or MG.  Once the cash is sent, kiss it goodbye.

    If you buy one, ride it round

    If you buy one, ride it round to mine as I’ve got a gold brick and some magic beans you may be interested in…seriously, in the unlikely event that you received anything after handing over your hard-earned you’d get a poor and probably extremely dangerous fake frame and wheels stickered to look like the real deal (loads of these on eBay, mainly badged as Pinarello). Steer clear – if you’ve got £4k to spend go for this year’s “ordinary” Specialized Tarmac Ultegra Di2 disc for £3750 – unless you’re going in for the Tour this year it’s all you’ll ever need.

    ‘Buying’ a bike won’t be the problem  Actually ‘receiving’ the bike you bought will be the biggest problem.. 😉

    If it looks too good to be true, it almost certainly is.

    Would eat my hat if anyone with more than 10 posts says they’ve bought a bike from there.
