I got a PM this morning [below]. And as you can see it's nothing more than an advertisement. If the forum [owners] somehow profit by this... well then... that's OK with me. But is this just a spam high-jack?

Thanks for reporting that, I have banned the member and removed his content.

It's interesting that you actually were responsive to a board member's request......and your removed spam. Maybe the banned offender should have just posted his spam in the classifieds where it's perfectly ok.

These guys are just selling knock-off junk. the site looks good, but once they have your cash, all bets are off.

I ordered 3 sets of jersey/bib XL, received a few weeks later 3 XXXL sets, sent them back. 3 weeks later customs tells me a package with my address is in customs, but can't clear because there is no SENDER address/contact/company or contents listed.
contacted monton through their chat and they claimed not to know anything, can't find the tracking number, don't use that service, etc, won't give out any company info or phone number, and won't refund money. Customs will destroy the package in 30 days since they can't verify anything.

lesson learned.

fyi- all of the items were knockoffs of poor quality, REALLY don't waste your money. Spend a few extra bills to get legit quality items that will last more than a few rides. i ordered new stuff from total cycling in the UK and it's great.

This website is illegal. It is not the official one as well. You can not see the words "official" nowhere. I have friends in Spain who got sponsored by Monton. And I could tell you by sure that, it is not the "Monton" we talk.

 

[Lizel]

Yeah, it's probably another shity spam. I'm really sick of all those spams out there, seriously annoying as ****. :/

 

[kana_marie]

It just gets harder and harder to trust strangers over the Internet, anymore...

 

[BikeBikeBikeBike]

That's spam from a bot.
Its NOT allowed, it's against the forum rules.
Please Please Please report this when you see it!
The mods and admins here work really hard, but as any forum mod/admin will tell you it's a constant battle with this garbage.
It helps when we do our part and report this nonsense.
