Not retro at all but go to aliexpress and search cube carbon frame. Anything from $80 to $800

Gotta be a scam?

Note the more expensive ones have high feedback whereas the cheaper ones have no feedback

Worth a £100 gamble? In case they are just old stock?
 
reading reviews of the site, it seems to be the case that there are genuine sellers ( and bargains to be had) but they are outnumbered by the scammers.

I buy from aliexpress, not had any problems, yet.
Just had a look, 40 dollar carbon frame. May give that one a miss.
 
aliexpress say the seller doesnt see the payment until you confirm delivery.

also, if you pay by credit card, surley you have protection and any issues, just do a chargeback?
 
Be wary of some of these carbon cheapie's as some are returns from bike shops
and have been sent back to the manufacturer for examination as to why it broke,
then any which can be mended are mended, then stripped of its decals and left
blank and sold on very cheaply to the next victim, same goes to deep rims too.

I wasn't aware of that and can't remember confirming delivery on any of the stuff I have bought. I bought some parts just before this topic started, if I remember I will let you know if I have to confirm delivery.

I was looking at the carbon GT frame, I am to tight to risk it?
