BikesDirect Newsletter
 

Is anyone on this? Is it worth joining? The only reason I ask is I'm wondering if they will ever get new shipments of bikes in cause I'm in the market and some options that would be my first choices of color have been out for a while it seems. Are they just in between seasonal shipments? Or do they just say that newsletter thing so people don't rage?

I'm not, but I can't imagine it's anything but horribly written, near-constant spam based on the "design" and text of their site.

I could be completely wrong, of course.

I thought BF was the newsletter and R&D dept.

^ HAHAHAHA!!!

That should totally be a sig!

Why would you want spam mail?

For real.

I signed up for this newsletter about 4 months ago and have yet to receive anything.

So there's no use in waiting for some newsletter that will likely never come, and I should settle on whatever is available is what I got out of this.

BikesDirect is like the guy you buy weed off of. He's not cool, he's always late, you can NEVER count on him to do something he says he will, he's pretty much an idiot. However, he has what you want, and so you ignore the fact that he's a moron to get it, he's never stolen your money or anything.

In other words, don't play the waiting game with BD. If they don't have what you want now, then look elsewhere. They recently told me in an email that it would be six months or more until they get more Team Track frames in. I don't think it will ever happen.

:lol:

This rules. Dude in front looks like my knee with a face Photoshopped onto it.

awesome pictures

I subscribed and received a "newsletter" 3/31. The only news was what bikes had been restocked, but if that's what you're looking for, go ahead and sign up. It would be nice if they told you what was on the way, so you'd know weather to wait a couple of weeks or buy eleswhere, but that's not the way they do things.

These must be a technical issue
As lots of newsletters have gone out in the last 4 months

and I know people get them as
1 - I am on the list on my personal email and I see them
2 - sales of items on newsletter are clear when the newsletter goes out

At this time of year lots of new stuff is going on site and in newsletter
and lots of normal items are being restocked and often that goes on newletter to

Of course, once on the list you can always opt out latter

We do not send spam to customers; so no promotions go out unless you are on the list
BTW - this fall lots of deals will go out to newsletter 'members' only - kinda like a group buy; and these will include not only bikes but deals on wheels; frames; cranks; etc

here is link http://www.bikesdirect.com/deals/

I sign up to the newsletter when I am interested in buying, otherwise I unsubscribe. They aren't annoyingly frequent and its useful if the things you are interested in are out of stock. I'm interested in building or buying a new MTB...a really nice one that I can ride for a long time....but I am not in a hurry. I don't know if I'll go with a BD bike, but I can tell you that when I decide to pull the trigger on something new, what they have in stock will factor heavily into my decision.
