Recently we bought some bike parts from a bike shop online called "Xtreme Bike And Sport" who is a third party seller through Amazon. This company is completlt dishonest and not reputable.
Amazon is taking action against this seller for its dishonest and unfair buisness practices. They often offer one of the lowest price on the net , however BE VERY CAREFUL that in trying to save a couple dollars you do not get tangled up with this clearly shady seller. This seller must fill out his own positive remarks on Amazon , this would not suprise me. Remember anybody willing to not be a honest buisnessman would & clearly does do anything and everything to cheat you out of being treated fair. Please do yourself a huge favor and keep looking for the parts you need and buy from a honest seller. (YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD ) THAT THIS COMPANY IS DISHONEST ,SO SHOP WITH THEM KNOWING THAT THEY ARE BY FAR THE MOST DISHONST BUISNESS OF ANY KIND WE HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. AMAZON WILL FORCE THEM TO DO THE RIGHT THING , BUT DO YOU NEED THE AGRAVATION OF DEALING WITH A DISHONST SELLER? They are under investagation by Amazon for their unfairness so perhaps they won't be selling through Amazon much longer!

I tend to discount negative reviews from new people who have a single post to their name.

I had purchased some lights and LockBlocks from them a couple of years ago, and presumably it went fine, since I don't remember ever kvetching about them. ;-) BikeSomewhere on the other hand... let's just say it's a good thing Amazon is very responsive about problems with third-party vendors.

For some reason that's who I thought he was talking about in the first place!

I do not think that you can post a rating for a company without actually buying something from them. Amazon is further reasonably good in removing bogus ratings - when I alerted them to some, they acted promptly and took down hundreds of posts. (Ebay could not care less when I alerted them to fraudulent advertising.) In any case, "Xtreme Bike" gets pages of positive ratings day by day indicating that most buyers are satisfied. I also see that I bought from them on Ebay and all was good.
