I put an order in with probikekit.com for them last week ($694 after discounts - though probably with some duty fees pending), but after 3 days of no activity, I got an email saying there was a "problem" with my payment method. No specifics, just a "problem". I'm quite certain I put in all the info correctly, using a CC that is 100% valid. Then after that happened, I started reviewing people's experiences with that place. What I read led me to just cancel the order.
Now I'm looking around again for a decent price, from somewhere with a reasonable trust rating. If anyone has any suggestions, me and OP would probably benefit.
i got my 6800's from Merlin Cycles, but if you want them quick (2-4 days) and you want to track it they're a bit on the pricey side for shipping.
i've ordered shoes from Bike24 before, cause they were the only place in the world that had the color and size Sidi i wanted at the time, and they were great too. the shipping is cheaper (19.99€, and you should get them in less than 10 days) and they have both the standard version and the tubeless ready versions of the Dura-Ace wheels for a pretty good price, which is about $710 and cheaper than Merlin Cycles...
