Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

At a quick glance the prices seem in line with other stores, a couple of bikes are a few hundred lower. A google search finds an actual address and even pinpoints it on a map.

If they are located and doing business in the UK, why are all of their prices listed in dollars?

Thats one thing that i was thinking. Plus they say that they only ship to the U.S. which doesnt make sense

The prices they list as Retail are very low for the Trek line. Seems to me that if you really wanted to ramp up the wow factor for your "sale" prices, you'd want to quote the actual retail price, which in all cases is higher than what the site lists. Think I'll stay away from this one...

Trek allows online sales via authorized dealers, but no shipping of bikes. Must be picked up in-store.

Cannondale, I'm not sure about.

It's a pretty poorly designed site among other things... I wouldn't buy from them.

On the other hand... Paypal and most credit cards are very good at reimbursing your money if you encounter any problems.
