Hi Folks,

Anyone brought owt from this account on ebay ? Comes from China.

They have lots of good feedback and some crazy prices. Just wondering if the stuff is fake?

For example - XT Group set ....???

Clicking on a brakeset puts it about £450 plus - no idea if that's good.

A lot of it is from china on their items, you sure it's legit and not copy?

Is this thread a cheap copy of the one above? Does it have any warranty?

Looks legit. I brought an XTR mech when i was in Bejing 20 years ago and it was great.

may take a punt on the group set for £280.

The 2 brake sets and groupset I bought after I started that thread above a couple of years ago are still going strong FWIW. No warranty so did have to pay to replace a caliper that started leaking 9 months in but that doesn't seem out of keeping with Shimano brakes anyway.

Genuine stuff but my theory is they're OEM parts coming from bike assembly lines in China.
