Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Unlike scaled-down toy bikes, the Author A-Matrix 26" delivers genuine adult-level components in a junior-specific package. Young riders get a lightweight alloy frame, 21-speed drivetrain, and reliable V-brakes—everything needed to build confidence on trails, paths, and daily commutes.

Highlights

  • Lightweight alloy 6061 frame with junior-specific geometry
  • 21-speed Shimano drivetrain (3x7) for versatile climbing and cruising
  • Rigid alloy fork reduces weight and maintenance for young riders
  • Tektro V-brakes deliver dependable stopping power in all conditions
  • 26" wheels with Author Spanker tires offer a smooth, fast roll
  • Recommended for ages 9–13 and heights 135–155 cm

In daily use

From the first pedal stroke, the A-Matrix feels responsive and easy to control. The Shimano Revoshift grip shifters are intuitive for smaller hands, while the 42-34-24T crankset and 14-28T cassette provide a wide gear range for both steep climbs and flat sprints. The rigid alloy fork keeps the front end light and precise, and the junior saddle and narrow handlebar ensure a comfortable, upright riding position that grows with the rider.
