I just purchased a wheelset for $800 from https://www.obmbicycle.com/700c-road-bike-carbon-disc-wheel-clincher-no-brake-surface-cycling-700c-carbon-fiber-aero-spoke-28-inch-road-bicycle-disc-rims-p3031635.html

Was wondering if anyone has bought from this store before? I only spoke with them on WhatsApp and they just changed their number on me without telling me.... Kinda fishy if you ask me?

People are honest in general.
And the website seems legit at first sight.
Just be patient, and worry only if it gets definitely bad.

Thank you for trying a new provider not already discussed here  ;)
If you wanted more peace of mind, there are dozens of reliable providers discussed all over this forum.

Their front page shows a wheel with a Roval decal on it. That's a red flag for me :-\
Either they just plucked some images off the internet, or they're counterfeitting.

Yes, they offered "decals like roval" I opted for none and just the wheels... Wondering if I should call the bank and cancel the payment. I reached out to someone on Facebook that showed me screenshots of an order he placed and how it was removed a month later. Said they are a total scam. However, I found a thread on here that looks like people were purchasing from them with no problems just long weight times.

Hopefully, someone from that thread will message me.

Don“t worry about the Roval decal. I have a nice wheels. Not from obmbicycle though, they come from sun-bike store.

I dont think by putting on a roval decal theyre "counterfeiting" as how we see them. Even farsports if paid enough or if they didnt care about getting shut down (where our fear comes from) theyd slap a logo of our choice on. Much like open mold retailers, if we ask for a decal theyll do it to a certain extent.

So I got my frame from OBMbicycle, but the color is wrong :(

The black color is supposed to be matte black, but it is gloss. I keep getting the reply of the merchant "I will contact the factory tomorrow again". Not sure if anyone experienced these same issues.
