Can’t be.
what, a 2005 R2.5 BAYONNE with dura-ace and zipp wheels for $1500 (msrp $8499) sounds wrong to you? hell, i can’t send him the money fast enough! 
I just called the shop in London at 6:10 central time and all the lines were busy…hmmmm
.
Anyone else thing this is a wind up?
Shopping cart section under construction, a phone number that doesn’t seem to work and prices that are beyond belief?
Still… I bet they are getting a few hits… lol
I like the free shipping if you use Buy It Now. How the hell else would you buy off a website. Uhmm I would like this bike in three weeks so charge me shipping???
And the picture of the 2 cyclists at the top of the page is identical to one on Performance’s site.
I’ll take a Soloist for $1000, Alex!
You know that “vol” in French means “theft” !!!
Gotta be fake. Nothing in any search pops up for them which is strange considering their “33 years of business”. Not to mention, their website is practicall all cut and paste items with no hyperlinks. All this and almost all of the scams on roadbikereview.com come from London.
Maybe some ST’ers from London, can check this. Before we all start spending money…
Just ran the address through Streetmap.co.uk and it puts their shop right in the middle of Pimlico.
Now, one thing I never found when I lived in London was a decent bike shop that held any decent bikes. Looking at the photos, I very much doubt this shop exists in Pimlico, I actually lived around the corner from here. Although it’s possible I never went down this road I did do a bit of a search for bike shops at the time (2 years ago) this shop never came up.
Even without the extremely low bike prices it seems very dodgy.
Only one thing to say …DODGY…oh and please don’t send money .
From memory this front was looked at by Ebay about a year ago, I sent a SPOOF report, and very quickly all auctions were removed.
Other things, UK Company, payment in US Dollars, Phone number US style, Adverts copied straight from Cervelo web site,
I guess he’s back on ebay… With zero feedback “volin11109” and the same prices as in his web site…
Two references:
“I just wanted to let you know that I think Volin Bicycle is an amazing company. To offer the kind of customer service that you do, over the internet, is priceless…”

“I just wanted to let you know that I think Volin is an amazing company. To offer the kind of customer service that you do, over the internet, is priceless, especially in an age of speaking to machines. I really appreciate the fact that you got the bike out the same day the eCheck cleared, Wednesday, and I was amazed to find out that it had arrived on Friday. I have ordered items over the internet that take at least 2 weeks before I get them. The bike itself is enough to be thankful for, because its absolutely amazing and I got so much more than I paid for.”

Who should I check with first? Sean S., or his cousin Sean M.??? Yaeh, looks kosher to me… Uh huh…
Trek/cervelo/and others must be having sooo much fun tracking this dirtbag down.
Excerpt from one of the auctions:
Please do not bid on the auction!!! Contact us via email for an order (with your size and colour to check availability). This is a fixed price sale at the buy it now price.
I reported two of the auctions to Ebay, maybe they will pull teh account.
