Seems ok, but a little alarm bell rang when I read the 'Bank wire transfer only for international customers' bit.
Maybe just an anti card fraud thing.
Full spec S-Works hardtail for a couple of quid more than the price of the frame alone... Too good to be true?
($2600 = £1264) Frame costs £1200 fyi.

I'm thinking scam.
I've seen too many ebay scams originating in Spain to believe this is legitimate. How on earth could ANYONE carry ALL those brands?

No phone numbers.
The page loads very weird.
I could be wrong, I thought that Specialized did not allow online sales.

Hey Pete, are you the same Pete with the red 996 TT, that I think I sent my OEM shifter to you a few years back?

Morgans or Bradford, just make sure to give them the correct information, like your credit card number.

Looking at the Madone, they seem to be the 2007 models, they have a Calif. shipping address. Would be nice to know if they are legit. Contacting TRUSTe would be a start, they are touting their seal of approval.

The exact same copy on the Morgan's Cycling was on some other place claiming to be in Helena, Montana.
TOTAL SCAM.
Covered their tracks, though:https://whois.domaintools.com/morgansbikes.com
