Subject says it all... anyone have any experience purchasing kit from this website? They are new to me, but some of the prices seem to good to be true.

Thanks!!

For anything, check out starbike.com to compare. They can do price matching too. And they are definitely reliable.

I was looking to purchase some kit, so Starbike doesn't fit the bill. I picked up a few Alé PRR pieces after some discussion on another thread, and frankly have been loving them. For the prices listed on this particular website, I can get a top & bottom for the price of just a single piece elsewhere. Since I'm not hearing any replies, I'm guessing it's not quite legit. I guess I'll stick to my normal shops. Thanks!

It's a fake.

The domain is registered in china, the web server is in USA.

Nowhere on the site is there information about how to contact them, business information etc.

That site is so fake, it isn't even fun anymore.

This is a perfect example of the "If its too good to be true..." arguement.
