Also, a lot of BikesDirect's bikes seem to be rebranded ASI (Fuji/SE/Breezer) bikes. There's got to be ties there somewhere.
Yes there is. The secrecy of this tie is what keeps bikesdirect.com in business. Most of the bikes they have are GREAT bikes but its always sketchy buying a bike before you can throw a leg over it and without a warranty.
