no mention of bikesdirect.com. The only way that the connection is supported is by cross-referencing the bikesdirect.com, cyclespectrum.com and the bbb websites which link the address 528 S Mason Rd to Bikesdirect.com (that has an unsatisfactory BBB rating), and that cross-references one instance of the same address on cyclespectrum.com.
here are my search hits on the bbb:

Now... I ask myself why does a company have two separate websites linked to itself through two addresses? And one address not listed in the case of cyclespectrum.com as a main contact address?
Now tell me I haven't done my research.
bikesdirect.com threads are always entertaining...the only ones that come close are ones with titles like "a wasp stung my face today" or "what is the strangest thing yelled at you".
If you look up Cycle Spectrum of Houston, it shows the same owner as bikesdirect.com and lists bikesdirect.com as one of the company web sites (in addition to cyclespectrum.com) see:

If you want further proof, a whois lookup of the owner of bikesdirect.com domain name is David Sander, who coincidently is listed by the BBB as the owner of Cycle Spectrum.

I'm done with detective work, but if someone wants to make an effort, I'm sure you can find connections between the owners of the domains bikesdirect.com, cyclespectrum.com, windsorbicycles.com, dawescyclesusa.com, cyclesmercier.com, motobecane.com, etc.
I'm off to ride my bike....
