What a bunch of thieves.
Ron Go to the web site and click on the "About Us" link. http://www.akron-bike.com/ Give the pic a careful look. The "Akron Bike" sign is clearly a cut and paste job. It looks a bit like a button you might see on some web sites to select a link. The shadow below the sign is bogus as well. Then check out the "515" address sign. C'mon, they cut into the shingles like that with at real sign? It is just a black rectangular shape cut-n-pasted, with a few numbers punched in from their keyboard. If these guys were any good they would have placed the box vertically next to the front door. It would be on a flat surface and look real enough for scamming work. These guys just aren't very good. There are plenty of "Photo-Shopped" internet humor pics floating around that are far and away superior to this hack job. I wonder what real bike store had its picture pinched for this scam?

They are now alleging the item is located in UK. Now longer seems to show a bike store front, but the inside pics are the same at secom-cycle.com as akron-bike had. The Akron-bike.com website is gone, -- meb |
