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.

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?
