Not the same as starbike (Germany), these guys are from Singapore.

Has anyone bought from them?

I've found very good deals and stuff that is out of stock everywhere!

I've sent them an email and they answered right away that they had it in stock, but their english is even worse than mine... suspicious

Yeah, nah, pass.

Tarmac Pro disc SL6 AXS Etap US$3800? RRP was/is A$8300+.
3T Exploro LTD AXS US$5625? A$10-12k when it was available here, which was very briefly and they sold out real quick.
Pinarello Prince Ultegra US$2100? A$3k frameset only through reputable source.

You can almost smell the "please pay us now and we will stall you for months while holding your money" BS from here. Avoid like the plague, for mine.

If, by chance, you did get something, it's more than likely going to be a Chinarello or Special Ed knock-off.

I was excited for half an hour or so... then I realised I was been an idiot...
It's very difficult to find bicycles right now, I didn't believe it was so bad, but it is.
Thanks @familyguy

If anyone finds this post... just avoid them. BTW I believe they are from Malaysia, just another crappy scam taking advantage of the situation.
