they seem to have some pretty good prices on bike frames. Is this a reputable business?

I have ordered from there several times over the last say 10 years. This includes a campy group and a frame (separate purchases), I'd do business with them again.

+1 for Bellati, many orders with no issues. Great price conversion to USD for most items.

The only issue is that they can't sell Wilier frames to the USA!!

In case anyone ends up in this old thread after googling Belatti Sport and wondering what is going on with that vendor. The below is some info obtained directly from Pinarello in November 2020. What a bizarre situation. Pinarello says they don't know if the products for sale are "used bikes or fakes," thus not even considering the option that they might be legitimate new bikes. Yet Belatti has been selling for decades without Pinarello stopping them. So strange.

"You can find all of our authorized Pinarello Point using our dealer locator https://pinarello.com/it/store-locator. The Store Bellati is not one of our authorized Pinarello dealer, so it’s hard for us understand if he sells used bikes or fakes.

We remain a tour disposal

and in a separate message:

"Yes, it’s not an authorized Pinarello dealer and for this, he can’t manage warranty claim.

We remain at your disposal

I go to them for the new etap 11 speed derailleur, great price but the shipping is charged separately for each item so 2 items = double the same shipping rate of €18.50 so you better be sure your item is worth it.

There are certain bikes/framesets on Bellati Sport that are literally thousands of dollars cheaper than the best price you can find in the U.S. With shipping costs <$200 it is well worth it (even if one gets charged with import duties, but many people didn't). I just wish that either Bellati or the manufacturers could clarify why the prices can be so much lower. The manufacturers refuse to comment on whether the bikes are authentic or not and say that they would not honor the warranty but Bellati says they themselves can handle any warranty issues.......

For those that bought bikes (or spent $3k USD or more), did you get hit w/imports/duty? Looking at their gravel selection; good prices.

Cannot speak to Bellatisport, but I did order a Colnago C64 disc frameset from Ciclicorsa last September. Frame was shipped via DHL Express at the end of October and DHL handled the customs clearance and brokered the import duties. After clearing customs, DHL sent me an email with a link to pay the additional $218, which had to paid before the package could continue on to the destination city.
