Legit? Well if the price is far lower than retail most likely the shop purchased OEM from a firm such as Trek or Specialized and are selling them separate. They are not suppose to do this but many firms do this.

It simply is not fair for other shops. Many companies do this with Shimano and components. Simply not fair competitive practice. In the end consumers loose as we have seen many items not sold or very limited to prevent such practices.

Something like a carbon fork I would never want to buy such a product.

For example. There is a case on some 3TTT Zepp stems being recalled by Cannondale. Well problem is many firms could have bought these same batch of stems under the table and sold to consumers cheaper. Consumers nowdays jump on low prices. However 3TTT is not making a recall as it is Cannondales responsability. 3TTT stems in question were OEM and should have never been sold separate. But I am sure they are and many shops now put consumers at risk.

Now how cool is that?
