Motobecanes in the family
During last 8 years we purchased 6 bikes from BikeDirect. Actually not a website but the store - we live in Jacksonville where we have actual store.
3 of these 6 are Motobecanes - MTB Fly XC, TT Nemesis and Cafe Express8.
I did not have any issues or problems with them at all.
Fly XC was heavily used as cross country bike and was abused very actively. I do not think you can find anywhere esle for a 1000 dollars something with SID, XT and 25lbs .
Or TT bike with full Ultegra and great geometry for $900.
Besided, after 2 years of usage Cafe express and Nemesis were sold for a very close number I purchased them.
3 other bikes are Fuji's - 2 of them (Roubaix Pro) almost 8 years old, have thousands miles on them and evrything still original.
