Anyone used them ?

They have popped up on my Instagram feeds with good prices for groupsets.

I've recently come across them on ebay and took a chance on some tyres for a good price. I also note they have the same address as bankrupt bike parts seller on Ebay.

Lots of positive reviews.

Pretty sure I used them on eBay for some group set parts with no issues.
Just checked, yes I bought a crankset and derailleur, now attached to the Elan. Good price with a voucher code iirc

Bought a Sram cassette and chain a few weeks ago.Easily best price on the internet and quick delivery.

I'm being tempted by the 52g titanium skewers that they sell, for my lightweight HC build. They look a lot more substantial than most of the Chinesium offerings from AliExpress.

Tyres arrived this afternoon, so no issues. The spikes certainly stick out more than my 15 year old Snow Studs. Ordered Marathon Winter Plus for £16 each off their ebay shop. Bargain. Will 'pay' for themselves in three rides ! - Parking and fuel costs about £10. Not taking any risks this year with ice - these will be used if frosty, but if it's wet and icy, I'll be in the car. Another broken pelvis won't be funny

I've had two cranksets from them and a chain guard.

Both the cranksets were packaged apallingly; one got away with it, one arrived with a load of damage from the arms smacking against each other during transit. S&L were receptive when this was reported and offered an acceptable-if-not-stellar discount, although I'd rather have had properly-packaged, undamaged bits.

Also it was clear that the cranksets had been removed from bikes (no retail packaging and some witness marks from pedals); which wasn't entirely unsurprising given their price, but not disclosed in the ad.

Trust pilot makes for some interesting reading. Some stuff is very cheap. Anyone used them?
Looks a bit shadey.

They come up on my instagram feeds due to me looking at bike stuff, but I also think they look a bit suspect -

Edit, I have ordered from them and all was good - via ebay, so added protection.

I actually scared myself out of a set of Zipp wheels last year because of Trustpilot reviews, but I have since realised that I was reading the reviews for the wrong business... There is a company called SportandleisureUK with terrible reviews, that sells junk running machines, etc., but it has nothing to do with the actual bike parts/sports company, who are called Sport & Leisure and actually has great reviews.

I've ordered about 3-4 times over the last year (they're the only place I can buy Northwave clothing), and all orders have been without issue. They seem to sell a lot of OEM stock etc., that doesn't bother me butI appreciate it could bother some.

I still kick myself now for not buying those wheels though, as they were a bargain...
