I have heard good things about them so I ordered some tires from them 2 days ago. Even with $20 shipping it was significantly cheaper than anything I could find locally. The shipment is now in the DHL tracking system. So far, so good.

I have ordered from them several times with no problems. They got my orders shipped quickly, but the last order I made with them took almost a month to get delivered. DHL delivered it to the USPS for shipment in the USA and it took customs and/or USPS over two weeks to deliver it once it got to the USA.

I was considering ordering a SMP saddle from them.
I order most of my supplies from Ribble in the UK.
Just got two pairs of Look pedals from them, each time it took about a week to reach the west coast.
Really good prices on everything including tires and Campy stuff.
They periodically have discount codes on their web site.

I ordered an SMP Drakon saddle. XXCycle also had good prices on them but did not have the Drakon in stock. I am ready for slow shipping as long as it gets here.

I have a Drakon, but felt it didn't have enough padding for the tandem. Got a Lite 209 off Ebay for about the same price as bike-discount and it has just the right amount of padding.
Moved the Drakon to my single where I think it will stay, but its white but I really prefer the black which is real leather. The leather looks awesome and I think it has better support than the lorica. So thinking of selling the white Drakon and replacing it with a black one. This web site out of Spain also has SMP for good prices:

Online bike shop, buy online bikes & cycling equipment

These saddles take some getting used to, but I can't see going back to any other saddle now.
