Anyone bought from modernbike.com?
(out of Des Moines, Iowa)
Their prices look pretty good, at least on a few items I've looked at and they have an overall rating of 9.6/10 on reselleratings.com. Just curious if anyone's bought from them and if so, any experiences... ?
Thanks.

I ordered about 2:10 pm today, with the default standard shipping. I got notification that as of 3:54 pm , it had been picked up and was in transit. That's less that two hours from order to shipment.

I"m not familiar with the outfit, so I just took a cruise. Prices seem OK, but for at least some items (many? I didn't look for too long) those at probikekit and ribble are better. These are UK sites and so the shipping is not quick to the US, but if you're not in a hurry, the prices are right. Remarkably, probikekit features free shipping for orders over some minimal amount ($50, I think?)

That's why I was there - A PCS-9 for $87. The PCS-10 is better, but also $50 more and for what I do the 9 will be more than enough. According to FedEx Tracking, I should have it tomorrow.

Bought something from them once and got it at a decent price quick enough, but now I get a lot more advertising e-mail from them than I'd like.

This is why on most internet purchases and many websites, I register/use a junk email address that I only access via the web, not through my email client.
