I see them selling OEM Shimano brakes on both ebay and pinkbike at decent prices, but can't find any reviews of them online.

Looks like a U.S. warehouse that ships to U.S. for Asian company, and can't find any negative reviews, but no real feedback at all.

Has anyone had experience with them?

I ordered a set of XT brakes from them via Ebay this week. Got a message saying that there may be Covid-related delays, but my set were shipped to my house in just a couple days. They look good. Not in retail packaging, but they look new and legit.

Ordered a set of XT M8000 brakes the other day... Arrived super quick unfortunately they were not M8000 but M6000 Deores instead... Checked the sellers web store and theyre not even selling M6000's. Still waiting to hear back from them, a little annoyed at the moment.

Ronde seller ended up offering me a full refund OR i could place another order through ebay. I ended up placing another order and received the proper brakes. Again, these arrived very quickly. You can't beat their prices in the US. Would order again.

I ordered a set of 4 piston slx brakes from them(eBay). They arrived in Florida usa in 4 days. No oem packaging but completely new and undamaged. Pre bleed, cables attached with bolts and barbs and olives if you have to shorten them.

Just a quick note about my experience with Ronde-Cycling.
I ordered a set of SLX Quad piston brakes late Friday evening (9/18/20). Although they weren't shipped out until Monday (9/21), I received them early Friday afternoon (9/25/20)… from Oregon to Phoenix in business 5 days. I'm good with that!
The brakes were shipped carefully packaged/protected, pads were held in place by those little red spacers and the brakes were in flawless condition (mine even came with a little bag that contained the bleed block, mounting screws and even 2 extra barbs/olives).
If you're considering buying from them, don't hesitate (I've saved them as a preferred seller).

I've order two items from them with no issues and fast shipping. First, was a Shimano XT M8100 rear derailleur. Second, was a Shimano XTR 12speed kit on Pink Bike. I plan to buy more items in the future. If I were to buy brakes, I think I would get those from a Jensen or some other retail site for warranty reasons.

I actually have Ronde-Cycling as one of my 'saved sellers' on Ebay

A while back I bought XT Trail pedals from them (8020's). Package arrived as NIB, no issues but after two or three rides the left side bearing froze up. He/they gladly took my return and offered another pair of 8020's or for 10 bucks more the newer 8120's...so I went with that. They were great to work with.

I got a Shimano groupset from them recently. Shipping was fast. Stuff looks good, except that the chain had clearly been on a bike before - the shimano connection pin was pushed back out but missing the break-off part so the chain couldn't be reconnected and no quick link or new pin was included. Minor annoyance.
I had assumed that the stuff they sell was originally purchased wholesale for building up frames, but now I wonder if it's stuff that was taken off of complete bikes when customers want to switch components?
