IP search has it coming through a common cloudflare IP in the US. Nothing specific.

I would be wary. Feels very scammy, especially with them showing the 45Nrth shoes at a substantial discount.

Also their about page has text cribbed from a variety of other website;


All the about stuff is from this webpage.

The fact that they use Ride Concepts logo for their store is another indication that this site will more than likely separate you from your dollars without you receiving what you order. Proceed with caution if you are going to try it.

Thank you for searching and your answer.
I am not a computer programmer and use APPLE products because they just work. At one point I had a top DELL desktop and it was literally months of aggravation on the phone and trying to keep the computer working. I will probably never buy another Microsoft OS computer.
will you explain what and how you found the info?
I would like to know how to find the scams myself and not get ripped off and frustrated.
Sure you can use a WHOIS lookup for the domain (bikfotershop.com whois lookup - who.is)

Then you can use an reverse IP search: https://www.ip-address.org/reverse-lookup/reverse-ip.php

Then you can search google for specific orders of words by putting them in " ":

Pretty much what I will do if a site isn't specifically scammy like having Specialized or Trek bikes available for substantial discounts, which is the other way to determine if a site is scam, as these 2 companies are never internet sold, they are only available in store.
