That really sucks.
Buying from a bike shop might have been a better move, but the bike shops around here won't let you trail ride a MTB. Somehow trying it out in the paved parking lot doesn't quite make it. Hope things work out for you.
It really isn't a Bikesdirect issue it is a Dawes issue and what they call a 4 bar suspension . . I am happy with bikes direct they have always given me good customer service.
I tried to get a GT Sensor 9er Comp but at $600 more I just wasn't willing to spend . . .
I rode the bike today and for my use it will be ok ( go on some trails to sharpen my riding skills and club rides at local parks) The reason for going full suspension is I don't stand up on the pedals . Efficiency and bad feet being the reasons.
The reason for posting is a public service announcement to those who rely on the honesty of bike builders
