    Just had a look at the invoice and no they havent. That mad you paid their tax on top! Glad it still worked out cheaper. In my case I had no choice but to order from Germany as certain boutique German brands arrent available here which is a shame.

    Heads up if buying from r2-bike.com in Germany

    Im mostly annoyed that I was unaware of this and no attempt was made to inform me at the time of purchase. Ive bought stuff from abroad before where all charges were included. But r2-bike just take your money and let you deal with it

    Fake Chinese bike parts

    Ive got one of these on my Trek: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/4001212286316.html Paired with a fresh XT mech and shifter it seems to shift ok on the workstand. For the money the weight is impressive. Nothing that light this side of £300 from the major brands.

    2005 Trek Top Fuel 110 Team Issue - Repair and Restomod

    About 3 years ago I picked up a set of these bars pictured below. I didnt like the blue details so set about changing that.
