Probikekit Order
First let me state that i have no affiliation with the company at all.
This past monday i took advantage of their 30% off of campagnolo parts to build an old colnago frame that i had been using as a fixed gear. I had been planning to do this for awhile but campy parts are expensive. I started by buying a crankset on ebay about 4 years ago and i thought it would be best to start the project again. i was planning to buy all veloce but by this time many of the veloce parts were gone. I ordered veloce rd, mirage fd, mirage/xenon bb and xenon brakeset all for a little of $100 usd. I thought it was a good mix of parts to get the bike up and running This brings us to today. After a morning of shopping at Target with the wife I arrive home to see that I had a package waiting for me. In less than a week the delivered my parts . Like a kid on christmas i ripped open the package and what falls out but a 10 speed chorus rd. It seems that they ran out of veloce and as an "alternative sent" the chorus one. Everthing else was what i ordered but what a suprise.

Great, now if the Look Keo Carbon Ti pedals I ordered from Probikekit turn out not to be upgraded to the HM version I'll be crestfallen.

When did you order the parts? I placed an order with them on the 8th and still have not received it. I checked with them for a tracking # but they said they use a courier that doesnt supply tracking #'s. Seems odd to me that an international shipment would be sent without tracking....

They never use a tracking number. They send it via Royal Mail...I'd assume it's not a big company like UPS or FedEx.

I must have gotten some of those Veloce parts .
When I ordered, there were only 8 brifters left in stock. only 3 derailleurs with the medium cage also.
I ordered on Sept 5, and got it last monday (11th)
But I got a brand new veloce derailleur, both shifters, and brand new in the box campy cable set. All for 131 dollars.

Great surprise! I saw the 30% off on Campy and ordered a bunch as well. I goofed around too long though and when I made the order the Record shifters were gone.
Miller2:
Don't sweat it, I've had it take up to 10 business days to get stuff from PBK. Since you ordered on the 8th there's a good chance your order didn't ship until Monday (they are 6 or so hours ahead of us). I ordered on the 9th and my card was not charged until Monday (the 11th). I was hoping to get it today, but no such luck.

I placed an order on the 11th for a couple of tires and haven't gotten them yet. Hopefully they'll be out of my tires and just send me some Boras instead.
