bikesdirect.com restock?
 
Does anyone know how often then restock? I'm trying to buy a mercier kilo tt, but they dont have it in my size. I don't know any other place to get the full bike (as opposed to the frame alone). Is it worth waiting, or should I just get a different bike?

If you ask them, the will quote you something like 4-6 weeks.

In my experience, it took them longer than that.

What a great question to ask Bikesdirect!

Ask RadioShack.

If you say so.

Why would you post here instead of contacting Bikes Direct? What are we going to know that the company itself isn't going to be able to tell you?

Asking us when BD will restock Kilos is like me asking, "My favorite diner down the street is closed for renovations. Do you know when they'll be done so I can go get huevos rancheros?"

TejanoTrackie 07-27-11 02:37 PM

Dang, I didn't know they had huevos rancheros ! Do they serve them with tortillas de maiz ?

Scrodzilla 07-27-11 02:40 PM

Jeez, man...is there any other kind?

Lasham 07-27-11 02:44 PM

Well if you took the time to read first reply (the only helpful one), you'd have seen that in yummygooey's experience, bikesdirect's estimate was inaccurate. But also, in my experience, contacting online companies can be a hassle and I usually get better info from real people. Anyway, question is answered so /thread

p.s. your analogy is weak. you would actually have to be asking Huevos rancheros enthusiasts who are familiar with the diner down the street. in which case, there's a good chance you'd get a decent answer (like I did in here).

Scrodzilla 07-27-11 02:49 PM

Contacting online companies is a "hassle"? Only if you're too lazy to send an e-mail and too impatient to wait for a response.

Whatever, brah. I'm going to keep this thread alive just so we can talk more about food and less about Kilo TTs.

Lasham 07-27-11 02:52 PM

lulz

TejanoTrackie 07-27-11 02:52 PM

...and mariachi bands.

Scrodzilla 07-27-11 02:54 PM

Dude, seriously. Mariachi bands rule. There's a Mexican place here in town that has a live mariachi band sometimes and they always play "Angie" by the Rolling Stones in Spanish whenever Angie and I are there when they are (because I once asked them to on her birthday).

MuppetMower 07-27-11 02:55 PM

It's also been covered numerous times in previous threads, but whatever. I was feeling nice.

Holy crap you are tall

evilcryalotmore 07-27-11 04:09 PM

This thread is awesome.

hairnet 07-27-11 04:14 PM

BF, when will they start fitting the Kilo with a more current seat tube diameter?

Leukybear 07-27-11 04:27 PM

Hi, I work for Bikes Direct customer service, may I be of assistance to you to address your question today.

I see that you have a problem with one of our frames. Is that right?

The bicycle you're talking about is the Mercier Kilo TT. Am I right?

Unfortunately, we're going to go out of business, due to a forced shutdown by the State of Texas for less than proud business practices. We are currently liquidating pre - existing stock. Therefore, we do not plan for acquiring stock in the future. We plan on shuttering down by the end of next month. That is August 31st, 2011.

And as of this date, all warranty claims previously given will not be valid.

Sincerely, Vincent.
Have a nice day.

Well, there is a chance that some people actually have experience with them that could be as or more valuable than a generic response from Mike.

Hello ssfg'ers what should I have for dinner. I mean I do have some pizza I could warm up, but I kinda want to grill something. Maybe grill the leftover pizza!?!?!?!?!
