Its funny how it seems like most everyone here bashes all over on bikesdirect.com, but I just noticed that right between Cyclistats and Performance Bicycle advertisements on the right side of this page is a link to none other than bikesdirect.com. So how many of you have actually bought something there?

Yea they just signed up and good for them...good for Bikeforums for that matter.
I haven't but only because I am a Campy guy...if I was a Shimano guy I would probably own a LeChamp SL. They supposedly have Campy bikes coming soon...the could mean the end of my marriage.

Buy one of those little red stars and you won't have to see any of the ads!They're finally a paid sponsor of the forums. That's nice.

Ive got 2 top ten finishes and one win on the Immortal Force last season (have only raced 5 times in my life) . Have high hopes for this season...best part is blowing by the high dollar bikes while giving them "the look"

i bought a track bike from them, it is great so far, though it's not like it has to endure thousands of miles

Ride it like you stole it
I have bought three bikes from them. A Le Champion SL for my daughter, and Immortal Force for me. I just got my Mercier Draco yesterday and have stripped it of all it's parts for my Pedal Force build.
