Hi,
I'm looking for a good deal on Manitou R7 PRO and apparently the cheapest option is from some sellers from Taiwan or China on Ebay. They sell it at around 300 USD (shipping costs not included) and here's an example.
The point is that on european websites it usually sells at more than 500 USD (e.g. chainreactioncycle.com, hibike.de), so I'm wondering whether this items are genuine. Looking at the pictures and considering the feedback of some of these sellers, I'd say they're not fake, however I'm always a bit suspicious when buying from such countries.
To tell the truth, I've alse found a cheap option from the US, little less than 340 USD.
In this case I would be a little less suspicious, but.. am I right?? Anyway, unfortunately the US option is for disc only, while I need to use V-brakes, so the tawaneese option seems to be the only cheap one.
Do you have any advice? What do you think of these quite substantial price differences?
