Everything on the website is super cheap.

I suspect the reason is that none of it exists. It's based in Indonesia and I know they're a several dodgy online bike shops operating out of there, with a very similar format.

I wouldn't trust them AT ALL myself, but feel free to let me know if I'm wrong not to!

If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is

^ what he said.

However, with distance selling regs and CC protection, etc. Take morals aside, what would prevent someone from ordering one on a CC and if it turns out not to be genuine, and no frame arrives, just claim the money back from the CC company.

Just saying, like, not suggesting anyone should.

there is a scottish company with the url cycle-centre.com who are most definately legit so for a company to set up a site with a very similar URL smacks of dodgyness IMO.

$500 for a SRAM XX Groupset inc SID's!! like hell!

Scam, simple as, these semi pro looking sites pop up every couple of months suckering people into placing an order before disappearing 🙁

Stunning looking fame though! Anyone know what the retail will be for a real one?

I haven't looked, but these kind of sites don't usually take credit cards - usually some kind of goldpay or western union kind of service. No protection.

Matt: http://www.cyclistno1.co.uk/blog/first-look-2011-felt-edict-team.htm

Two full bikes £3700 and £4400 so I'd take a punt on at least £2k frame only but this is wild speculation. Have asked Saddleback if they're bringing in the frame only...
