Has anyone bought components from the French on line store "XX Cycles.com?" Are there hassles, like customs duties, etc.? How reliable are they. Are they just a French "Ribble?" or what?

I've ordered from them a number of times for accessories and parts I couldn't find in the U.S. Never had a problem with them, no customs issues.

I just bought a Stronglight Compact crankset, the bottom bracket the fits, and a Campy 12-27 cassette. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Google's 'discussion' search is a good way to find out about online shops.
