I myself have a Mercier (Yes I said the "M" word) that I purchased from Bikes Direct and it is a great bike. I have the exact same Ultegra Group set, the exact same Reynolds 853 steel and the same quality Ritchey components that many of the "Elite Cyclist" (a very loosely used term) on this forum have. You know what**********
It works perfectly. I don't care who looks down on me. I just like to amuse myself by watching ignorant people post slams against others that saved money by taking a different route than they did. The average Neophyte would think that everyone here must own a LBS by the attitudes exhibited. My question is........ Who really is the ignorant one here? I saved money. Why don't others? If certain ones here choose to throw away money, please PM me and I'll give you a link where you can sponsor me in the upcoming Tour de Cure ride for Diabetes. At least there your money will do some good!!
PS. I am in no way affiliated with Bikesdirect.com or SPRTYMAMA or any other business entity in the cycling industry. I'm just an average guy that rides a bike.
It's been a while since you got any hasn't it?...........Go on let it all out we are all listening.

Watch your step off of that high horse, I hear it is a big one.

If people learned to laugh a lot more the world would be a much better place. IT WAS A JOKE......YOU KNOW FUNNY HA HA. Seriously!!!!!!! You know if you bought a REAL bike you wouldn't need to get all defensive about it. (another joke this is the bit where you LAUGH

)
