Michelins, anyone?

PBK has 'em on sale, plus 10% off web sales, plus free shipping to the rebels for a limited time.

Like our rebel Admiral says, "ITS A TARP!" Or did we get that CC mess sorted?

PBK is an imperialist bike web store in England.

All white. here's a pic:
edit: I should mention that there's spots of "tan" discoloration, like sunburn...but they get so soiled in a couple miles it's sort of moot. IMHO. I've posted details in the NEW for sale sticky!

Anyone still having problems with credit card theft after buying from PBK? There were a couple of BF threads last month with stories from people (me included) who had their credit cards hacked.

I just clicked on my PBK link and Firefox instantaneously crashed. Just vanished from the screen in the blink of an eye, showing a small window explaining some need to protect my computer. PBK is seriously jinxed, man! Better give them a few weeks or months to sort things out.

I've bought from them a number of times since people started reporting problems, and nothing has come up to this day. Their free shipping and sales steal my heart every single time

Firefox has been giving me that issue alot since I bought my new computer, and on multiple sites. Update your browser if you haven't already, mine seemed to subside after I did.

Never had a problem with PBK regarding CC theft, or anything else. They ship faster than ANY bike parts dealer does here in the US. I barely have time to think about it, when the package suddenly shows up.,,,,BD

I ordered a 700x28 Gatorskin from Nashbar on Sunday night, and still have not got a shipping notfication email. Scratching my head over here, lol....

No problems here, using 64-bit Firefox-3.0.8 on linux. Do you have NoScript installed? IMO it's the best way to block unwanted crap from your web browsing.

Re: credit card security -- if you have a PayPal account you can generate single-use credit card numbers for dealing with sites with questionable security.

Noscript+adblock+flashblock FTW.. so they don't take paypal?

Edit- FWIW I got my CC swiped recently and have not ordered from PBK.. some of the other guys, but not them.
