Bought a triathlon bike from Bikesdirect a few mos ago. Can NOT beat the deal I got. Site is 100% legit. Bike came in a box and I had to put together myself... which was ez. Took to a bike shop for a tuneup too b/c gears were skipping, but minor adjustment and all good. Performed great, no issues! Great bike, incredible deal, I am upgrading to all carbon soon... and that bike will DEFINITELY come from bikesdirect. Hope I have the same experience again...

You can get a Titanium bike with top of the line shimano parts for a FRACTION of the cost of buying Trek or Giant. I could not believe the great parts that come with these bikes and to get it with titanium is a dream. FYI, I got a titanium mountain bike that weights in under 24 lbs, that would cost $5K and up from a brand name manufacturer.

I know many who know bikes will look at the component specs on these bikes and will not believe it. It is too good to be true, but the bikes do ship with the real parts and that just goes to show you how much bikes are marked up in the retail stores. This is the real deal. Solid frames, awesome parts, and fast delivery. The only thing is you need some basic knowledge of bikes to assemble them. Or just take it to your local bike shop.

OMG...

OMG... a full carbon frame bike that weights 18 lbs for a little over $1K?!?! Is this for real? All Shimano Ultegra parts? The ritchey wheels alone retail for about $300. This website seems almost too good to be true, but if you actually get the bike they say you do, then it is a killer deal.
