• Has anyone bought a groupset from Aliexpress? Shimano stuff with significant discounts. Obviously plenty of fake stuff on there but surely that would be tough to fake?

  • They're genuine OEM groupsets usually. I looked into buying one before but the cost wasn't significantly lower than buying from the UK. Full R8000 on aliexpress is £440 + £40 shipping then you'll pay import duty on top of that. Same groupset on CRC minus bottom bracket is £550 with free postage and no duty to pay, plus dealing with a UK company for warranty etc.

  • Got a Sram froce CX1 mini groupset (rear mech, levers, cassette). Full original.
