Cycling gear website, anyone used....??

[PsychoRider]

Just come across a website called simonharpur.co.uk for cycling gear, and was wondering if anyone has had any dealings with it /know if it's legit . I've done as much research as my knowledge allows so I have my doubts , but know that a few bad reviews can taint something very easily. Hopefully someone can shed some light or point me in the direction of a decent cycling apparel site!? Thanks

Not sure about how legit the site is but the photos on there look like the kind of thing you see on eBay for the 'replica' kits that are just cheap copies. For me this would flag it:

"Why are products so cheap on www.simonharpur.co.uk ?
We get our goods directly from camps of licensed manufacturers. As you know, they produce a large quantity of goods, thus leaving a small portion of additional volume and can be sold without papers to other dealers. Our products are part of this. This is also the reason that they are so cheap. But please do not worry, they are original and of very good quality."​

BUT - there might be nothing wrong with the kit if you don't mind if they are copies - can't vouch for that site though.

There are plenty of reputable on-line cycle retailers. Why the urge to use this unknown seller? Is it price too cheap to believe? I would avoid unless you want to be disappointed.

Really? You actually need to ask? These are expensive fakes.

Sold without papers leapt out at me, knock offs.

The old maxim is still holds good. If it sounds too cheap to be true it probably is.

Looks well dodgy. I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

I bought a jersey from one of these sites that looked American but after placing the order I discovered that the jersey was coming from China or Taiwan. As soon as it arrived I realised it was a fake because the colour was wrong so I stuck it on Eblag, only to be bollcked and threatened with a ban for flogging fake goods!
