2014 Motobecane Mirage
Butted CrMoly 4130

I wanted to wait until I had the bike awhile to write a review. I've had the bike a year and have had no problems. I chose the ChroMolly 4130 because I like the ride of a steel bike.
This was my first order with Bikes Direct. There was no problem with the shipping, box arrived fine. I was informed every step of the way. The bike was packed very very well. There was no dings on it at all. Assembly was no problem and anyone with reasonable mechanical knowledge can put this together. I's not a big deal. I had some parts I didn't know what they were to so I emailed customer service and they shot an answer right back with pictures! I did some tweaks here & there on my own. A few fine tune adjustments, nothing big. I was really surprised to find break handles in the middle of the handle bars. I like that. I put my favorite seat on it, that's the only thing I changed. As soon as it was assembled the tires were kissing blacktop. Very nice ride.
Overall I am very satisfied. For a China build everything was perfect. The welds were clean, Shifting was smooth, paint job is excellent, packing was terrific, customer service was right on it. Would I deal with Bikes Direct again? Absolutely.
I got a great deal and a great bike.
Thank you Bikes Direct
BRAVO!
