Has anyone seen this bike shop or ordered anything from them? Looks really shady to me.

That graphic in the upper right hand corner is the exact same pict from performance's site.

Otherwise, I have no clue.

This highly likely is a scam. Search the forums for fake online bike shops in Montana. People say that the same fake shop shows up from time to time with a new name and new URL. Supposedly the scam site usually lists items at prices that are basically too good to be true.

Yeah, those prices looked a little too good. They list a physical address. I suppose you could research it and see if they really exist.

See this thread, I bet it's the same scam with a new name.

That site screams SCAM! A piss poor one, at that. How many online shops do you know who only sell complete bikes? No clothing, no components.

I love the "customer feedback" page. Some of the same quotes are listed over and over, word for word, attributed to different people from all around the world, clearly written by the same person. Hmmm... a shop with great prices selling bikes internationally, why does their web site look so cheap?

Another clue: their Squaretrade Security Tested logo is not a link to the squaretrade web site, but just a picture pasted on. Same with mastercard and visa.

I've never heard of these types of scams? Do they take your credit card payment, and never ship?

Funny how they claim to be in business for 33 years, yet yahoo yellow pages has no listing for them.

Also funny how they supposedly do online bike sales for brands that do not permit online sales.

And funny how they advertise Trek bikes but Trek does not list them as a dealer for Helena. I'll bet it's the same for any other brand they list.

I especially like how they give an address for returns. As if there's any merchandise to return.

Finally, their website IP address traces to Italy.

there back


This is a scam. Been around for at least the last 2 yrs. with different shop names but same stolen graphics.
