Anyone ever buy a bike from here? Or anywhere online for that matter? Good or bad experience?
Thanks

I was going to buy a bike from competitivecyclist.com heard lots of good things about them, then I went to my LBS (well there is 5 here by my new house so I went to all 5 and out of the 5...) the owner matched whatever they had on there...Now for closeouts they can't help ya but if you had something in mind...
(not to mention I like bringing my bike in for tune ups)

*so to answer your original question I had 3 ppl tell me very positive things about www.competitivecyclist.com and I asked them a question and they answered it before I woke up the next day.

Used to have a LBS that always told me he'd match prices, just had to be willing to pay the same S&H.

Ya, we used the "check out" price to compare, I ended up going with a slightly lower end (not that a 3K bike is lower end in my mind) bike than what was on the site but I'm very happy with the price I got on it. (See sig for bike).

I got my Merckx here. My LBS couldn't touch the deal I got online. They told me to do so, in fact. But, I also bought two mtb's from my LBS, so I'm on friendly terms with them. They fined tuned my road bike for 7 dollars after it arrived...can't argue with that. Bike Smart ships it semi-assembled...it's still a good idea to have a local mechanic look it over, though. I had no problems with Bike Smart.
