I have nothing against the bikes, the people who ride them, or the company. However, I don't like the fact that there are so many shill good reviews to cover up anything potentially negative. If there is one thread about how someones BD bike came and the shifters were scratched and the BB and crank were messed up and they were having problems with the company getting it resolved, there are 5 "OMG BD IS THE BEST THING EVER!" threads posted up that week to recoup the negative thread/story.

People should be able to find LEGITIMATE threads about the bikes. If you're ordering the SRAM Force bike and expecting it to be the claimed weight or under because of all the great threads you read... you're in for a disappointment.

It's almost the same as with any thread that comes up about Neuvation wheels. Coyote2 is always there to tell you how horrible the wheels are and you'll be stranded in the Sahara if you ride them. (not a personal jab at you Coyote2 but you know it's true ) BD does this but with positive threads/post.

All of that said, I have almost ended up with a BD bike 3 times now. It is very appealing for the perceived value. I probably would have one had I not found the great deals I have on my current bikes.
