I'm wondering the same. Prices seem (almost) too good to be true. Usually that means they are.

They also offer items that are usually out of stock everywhere else. I used to live in Indonesia and there's actually lots of (high end) bike shops there which are legit, but those only sell to local people. They aren't really known for their internet shopping and exporting.

Unfortunately they aren't located in Jakarta otherwise I would've paid them a visit.

On mail they explained that they purchase directly from manufacture lol, sent an email to Cervelo asking for confirmation if this vendor is in their systems, I guess they will say no:)

No social media accounts, no reviews from google and from streetview photos I don't believe there is any "high end" cycling shop....

Extralite Hyperstem 70mm 64g. Since the Piccola’s take a rather long time to arrive, the bike asks for some more attention.

Ordered a jersey of my own design. It's a Bioracer Epic. NOK 500 of what I pay for it goes to Norwegian LGBT+ organisation Fri.
