This seems like a really good deal. Any experience with this make of Rim. Are those likely counterfeit hubs?

Nothing in carbon that I've seen. Ragley Big Al or Marley aluminum frames are quite nice and go for $300 though.

I'm considering this frame for a build. It seems like a DT swiss rear shock with a remote could be a good option: https://www.dtswiss.com/en/products/suspension/shocks
Although I only found one place that seemed willing to ship to the US.
This suntour shock appears to be a trunion that can be used with a remote but the website isn't very clear.https://www.srsuntour.us/collections/rear-shock/products/unair-rear-shock?variant=28395765956702
I'd have to inquire further. Good price though.

772 shipped from here:https://www.lordgun.com/sram-xx1-eagle-axs-1x-12s-upgrade-kit-1

Also Italy. I was considering picking up an insurance policy for my bike. Would certainly need it with that expensive of a derailleur hanging off it.
Bikes direct has a $2600 bike with AXS on it. The rest of the spec isn't anything super special but if you wanted to kit out a frame with a axs and a Pike it could be a good deal.

The prices are similar to what you see in Europe. Most European shops won't ship to the US but a few will: BikeInn and Lordgun will in my experience. I got a legit XT 8100 group set from BikeInn in about the same ballpark so it seems plausible and the reviews look good.
