Has anyone bought a bike from here ?
Why is a crossfit site selling bikes?
Looks like, smells like so very probably is....
You really have to ask?
Of course they are legit. They have an office on Portland place, and their warehouse is also on Portland Place, but a bit further up the road. There's so much profit in bikes nowadays, they can reduce prices by 30% and have 2 properties in the centre of London. Buy from them, let us know what a good deal you've had.
Ok, dont buy from them.
Most of these bicycles are located into our large deposit from 180 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5QZ.
Alanl speaks the truth. Doesn't look like a 'large deposit' to me.

Yes.
Or a terrible e-commerce site with stock photo.
Maybe use your credit card?
There’s so much profit in bikes nowaday
On the plus side they wont have far to walk to check with their accountants since that location just happens to be where the company mentioned on their about page is registered as c/o.
Odd that although the company is Crossfit London they then borrow a completely different cross fit gyms name for the website just going with net instead of com.
The website has company numbers all over it, trying to prove it's legit. All that actually proves is that Crossfit LDN is a real company, and has the same address as on the website. There's no evidence at all that the website is actually associate with that company. If you do a Whois check on the owner of the website domain name, it's "REDACTED FOR PRIVACY" - which domain registrars only do if it's a private individual.
I put cyclocross bikes and this came up I was thinking all the bikes listed I’ve previously looked at had been sold out so I knew it was dodgy never looked at there contact details , but it’s good to put it out there as I expect a few have bought from this site .
I looked into this before, as far as I could tell from a quick Google is that it's nicked the name of a legit CrossFit gym to try and make itself appear above board.
People who have bought from there have obvious not seen their purchase or their money again.
Apparently the gym are aware of it and have been trying to get it shut down (so goes the forum stories)

I still think the site is suspect, but what I wrote above turns out to be out of date. GDPR has effectively broken the whole Whois system. Why anyone thinks not being able to identify who owns a website is good for the public I don't know!
simplest solution is usually just to google the name plus 'scam', will tell you all you need
...although usually just even wanting to do that should tell you all you need 🙂
I got a spyware warning trying to click on the link at work - "Your request was denied because it may represent a privacy or security breach."
