View Full Version : Cycles depot - scam or the real deal sokyroadie 12-17-2006, 10:27 AM Ran across this site on a search engine, It has to be a scam, if you enter checkout it does not even show what sizes they have. The example below would be a heck of a bargain. http://cyclesdepot.com/product_info.php?products_id=277 Jeff physasst 12-17-2006, 11:28 AM Ran across this site on a search engine, It has to be a scam, if you enter checkout it does not even show what sizes they have.

I'm guessing you give them your info and they use it to rob you and you never see any bikes. mb323323 12-19-2006, 10:02 PM Tough to tell but some of the prices are great. However, not all. The Tarmac pro (dura ace, etc) for 1399 euro or about 1800 US dollars. Isn't that bike around 3K. Hmmm, just not worth it. There is a phone # which doubles as a fax # too. Probably not good. And in Spain. Maybe it's legit when you buy one of the other bikes that you can buy cheaper here. A few great deals to get your attention. Again, an Internet site that probably does not have inventory, sends you the bike provided they find it cheaper than their price elsewhere. Also possible you end up w/ the Tarmac comp instead. Available here for around 1499 USD. Too risky!! MB |
