A big part of build vs buy is of course component selection. The Shimano parts on 007Bike on aliexpress has high ratings... are these legit Shimano parts??
-
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.
-
These are likely Shimano OEM overstock. Genuine Shimano parts, but if something is defective you probably can't claim warranty.
-
Do you have the link of the shop ?
When looking for 007Bike on aliexpress It doesn't give me any result.

Here is the shop in question https://www.aliexpress.com/store/3486078?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.24803c00VsIIiS (https://www.aliexpress.com/store/3486078?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.24803c00VsIIiS).

Thank you ! I just needed some brake pads they have.
-
These are really good prices. If legit then I'll likely pull the trigger on an XT 12-speed group. Thanks for sharing.

Merlin in the UK still ships OEM Shimano to the US as well-ordered a full Ultegra Di2 groupset from them last month on Wednesday, received Monday morning with UPS and so far no invoice for customs duties.

Seems this seller is a significantly cheaper than 007bikes? Although i don't know why their feedback is all under (private listing)
-
I bought an M7000 drivetrain from 007Bike a while back. Its all legit, (shipped fast too) but nothing has a serial number. This is due to some sort of restriction on the Chinese selling shimano parts or something.
-
I just got a full 12 speed shimano groupset in about three weeks. The price is going to be hard to beat and the items all arrived. I don't have a frame to put these on yet but hopefully I will get my custom Waltly ti frame soon! I also ordered soem BTLOS wheels for this bike.
-
I decided to dip my big toe in and ordered a Shimano IceTech rotor from them. Total was about $32 shipped. Cheaper than the ~$50 I see at most of the 'normal' sites. But also not that cheap. We'll see how it goes.
-
Legit....I've bought 2 sets already.
-
Ordered XTR shifter/ derailleur combo and MT 900 cranks. Prices couldn't be beaten.
-
My rotor arrived in less that 10 days. Not in OEM packaging, but it appears to be legit Shimano stuff. If it's not legit, it's one of the best knocked jobs I've seen. Stickers, laser markings, tools marks all match my existing Shimano rotors. I'll mount it up this week and try it out.
-
Just ordered a rockshox Yaris 29 160mm From them for 350euro delivered, hopefully it's all legit

Thanks for the info, did you ship with standard shipping? Thanks

Yes, I shipped it standard. It was shipped by DHL. I didn't even expect it because it arrived so quickly.

Thanks for the infor, just ordered 2 XT 180mm! Hopefully they arrive the same time as my BTLOS wheels! Excited! I would have purchased the whole drive train from them, but after my 260euro DHL VAT pain I will just pay the same buying from europe. Annoying so much is out of stock here - can't even buy cheap handle bars most places..

It's pretty wild how hard it is to get components and bikes here in the states. All my local shops have basically no inventory of high-end bikes and have started to sell their rental fleets.
Related, I have been trying to buy a kayak for a few months and finally got the model I wanted last week after it being out of stock since April.
I suppose the best social distancing is out on the trail or river?

Everything arrived in 10 days and looks good. No packaging as others have mentioned, but all parts are legit.
-
I received two XTR discs yesterday.
Identical to the others I did order few months ago but at a 30% discount.
-
I bought my entire groupset SLX/ XT combo. Everything arrived in good shape and was legit as far as I can tell. Pricing was good and shipment arrived via DHL very quickly. Shipped on 11th arrived on 14th.
-
ive ordered both a rockshox yari and an xtr shifter+derailleur from them, hopefully ill get them soon and wont be waiting months.
-
2 Xt discs arrived in good condition after 2 weeks with standard shipping :)
-
Got my yari in 4 weeks, seems to be 100% genuine, very happy with it for 350euro delivered, might upgrade it to a lyrik ultimate.

i'm super jealous - aliexpress collecting state taxes and crazy shipping costs completely kills this for me
-
Nice, will also order from 007Bikes. Will let you know when it has arrived.
-
I bought M8100 brakes, M7100 brakes, M8000 shifter/derailleur from them all of those were legit. I had M8000 bought from Jenson USA so I compared them and it is the same.
007 Bike and anrancee cycling are both go to when I need drivetrains components or brakes as both have legit parts
-
Are these still the two most reasonably priced options?? arancee and 007store?? Any other options?
Thanks,

I ordered the 105 R7020 groupset from SEE Bike (https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1951301) a couple months ago. I was able to get a customized (was not listed in their options) crank length, cogs, chainring, and bottom bracket (bb92) by directly messaging them. Same deal as the others: no original packaging but it's all there.
