The screenshot is from google. the highlighted blue one is the link to the scam website. The clue its a scam is that the bike is about half the price of all the others.

Also that their "Featured Collection" says "Best dresses for the upcoming fall season" above some pictures of bikes.

Phil - I’ve ordered from crankedmtb. They are just a proxy for aliexpress or alibaba or something. Came in two days direct from China, Chinese packaging etc.

didn’t know this when ordering.
once I’d bought, of course I started getting adverts for the ‘direct’ price - about a tenth of what I paid.

fox trousers (faux trousers) - terrible quality, appauling fit. Pocket zip broke immediately so can only wear them in specific circumstances where I don’t need pads and have a bag or bar mount for my phone.

100% gloves (50% gloves) seem alright really. Longevity will be the real test.

grips (slips) not yet fitted. Rubber feels a bit hard and ungrippy.

overall to be avoided.
