Well to make a long story short
i used to go to one the SE Asian countries to get some quality parts for my shop.......

But when you live in the **** hole of the world.................called the middle east...............and in that **** hole god has chosen you to live in a place called Iran........And you government happens to be Islamic..........and a kind of islam that is oppossed to the US and israel.........
The world puts sanction on your country........and your government uses a phenomenon called Inflation to rob you ...............and then trips to other countries is not that affordable to you any more.......
So...........In our own language we say you have to kiss it and put it aside ..................

Like the M6 frame that was my dream frame and i payed 3K buck s for it in 2010 * the treads are available here in MTBR ..................and i never saw the frame nor i never saw my 3K $ either..........
Why ? because again when you live in a **** hole your banking system is not connected to the world..............and you have to trust somebody to transfer the money for you and when its gone you dont even know who has robbed it from you the seller in the states or the exchange guy in Iran.................
In the Photo above i bought the frame but for sale...............but now i wish i had rode it my self.............
Never mind then came along a trader a mechant here who went to Thailand and did the job for us.............
When i my self went to other countries .......i had to close my shop for two weeks............* i work alone and im the type of person that cannot bare and stand working with any body................even if that means my income would decrease dramatically ........i simply dont want anyone to interfere with what im doing............and what i decide.......because mainly people shift the ballance of Quality / Quantity towards the side i dont like .........And dont want.......
And also i could import a limited amount of goods as In iran the customs are hard on things like bikes.................and have became even harder in the past couple of years as well
Why ? Again because importing bikes is not in line with the intrests of the Islamic Gov. as they dont want the youth to go cycling or **** they want the youth to have patriotic manners & mindset so when ever they needed you they could fool you to go to war for them
I mean the Gov the state really doesnt like the youth to hang out in acvitities like these........they want to take advantage of the strength of the youth in their own deeds........
So i decided to buy the parts from that trander instead of going to the trips my self..................as he knew how to import the parts and bikes and also..............i could take my time and many times his prices were lower as well as he bought in bulk............
But...............................but again came the problem...........
What problem ???
he started giving me and other shop owners fake parts.......................and @ first i dodnt notice ....but gradually ...........as the fake parts got more and more i suspected him more & moe out found out a lot............of the things i had bought from him previously were also fake............
like what ??? like these Fun big foots............can you find out that they are fake from the picture alone ?
* the pix are from my own website.........

and like this Funn dropper................
![]()
That when i told him to show a Funn dropper post that lookes like this in the web to me he replyed that its an old model.........and its not produced any more now...........
And i said no problem.....................find a Funn dropper that lookes like this and show it to me..............i dont care what year its model is ..........................just show the picture to me ..........
And then he said if you dont want them give them back to me.............
Than came a lot..................a lot more........................like Shimano chains...............shifters......................bontrager hubs & rims............shimano hoses............
All of them were about 9K $ and i told the guy i cant sell this ****.........................and he said all the other shops are selling them and have no problem with them................
I told him i havnd found my credit in the MTB community from the sewage............* a slange we use in our language...........
And i dont care what anybody does i cannot sell these.........
Then the guy told me its your own problem,..................i sain OK
and went and wrote two threads on my personal web site about them................
But didnt mention the name of the merchant & company who gave them to me...................and put them in my personal Telegram channel............
After two days the guy called and said bring them back ill give you your money back..............and after 15 years that i worked with that company i withdraw ed my money and shook hands and said good bye to him a good bye that meant ( F*****you )
And now im searching for a new place to get my parts from......and be sure they are not fake.......
anywhere that i can buy good parts from for a reasonable price but in not that much of quantity i mean maybe in each purchase around 10 to 20 K USD......because im not a big shop and im more focused on service and mechanics over the past couple of years also...........
My main focus is maybe Indonesia / Thailand as i think i could get good deals in there
Also in Eastern Europe as well like in Bulgaria as i have sorted the way to import parts from there to Iran without customs......
Has any body here got any experience on this or knows some good LBS to work with in those places.......?
And another question i had was that in countries like the States & Canada or like the EU if someone wanted to import bike pars like this in small quantities.....does he have to pay import taxes ?
Thanx A lot & cheers everybody
