I was concerned that I had entered an old address after I placed my order and Karla replied to my email so quickly that I barely had to wait two hours. She confirmed my order was good to go. Very impressed with the quick response and kind customer service associate. I have since received my bike and all appears well. Looking forward to assembling it tonight. I would recommend this website.
I recently bought two Mango Parrot bikes - one for my wife and another for my daughter. Fast shipping and easy assembly. It took more time to unwrap the carefully packaged bikes than it did to actually assemble them! Only had one minor issue with one bike - the front tube wouldn't hold air and it shipped without a rear/red reflector. Larry hooked me up with no questions asked. My wife and daughter love the bikes! Highly recommended.
I just bought the Titanium Ultegra road bike, list just under $2000. This is my 4th road bike from BD, and all have been good deals. Service has been excellent as well. I had a minor issue with the Stem on the Titanium bike and Larry sent me a replacement without hassle or delay. Chris at BD also a good communicator in sales. Bikes Direct is my "go to" place for new bikes. Picture of my 3 Motobecanes with Titanium in foreground.
We had a derailleur hanger that needed replaced on our bike we purchased from them but as the bike was in another state, and we somehow misplaced the paperwork, were having trouble identifying which one we needed. After calling into BikesDirect and having them quickly offer to email us copies of the paperwork, she also suggested emailing Larry who could quickly identify and show us where to get a replacement. Within 15 minutes we had our answer and one on it's way. Not only were we able to purchase a great bike at an incredible price, we were able to get great service after the fact. Definitely recommend using them!
This is the end of my third season of riding this bike every chance that I get. I ride a few miles every day the weather permits in a small town plus occasional longer rides on public bike trails. I keep it in the garage when not in use. The bike is not left out in the weather so it still looks brand new.
As expected during this time I have needed to adjust the cables and the wheel spokes one time. The spokes will usually loosen some with use and cables will stretch. Anything that you might want to know about a bicycle or how to repair it can be found with and online search.
I ordered this bike online a couple of months ago. Everything worked as it is suppose to work. Order confirmation, shipping confirmation, I Knew when it would be delivered and it did arrive with some damage to the box that it was in but there was no damage to the bike.
Unlike bikes from other companies that were shipped to me for assembly. The bike from BikesDirect was properly adjusted and mostly assembled at it should be so no further adjustments to bearings, brakes or spokes were necessary. I would call it easy to assemble even for a beginner.
I cannot tell you about customer support or help with assembly since there were no problems. The only question I would have is to do with the proper adjustment of the eight speed internal geared hub. Instructions for that are included with the paperwork packaged with the bike. Even though it was properly adjusted at the factory. Adjustment of cables is always needed once the bike has been used some. Parts will seat in and any new cable will stretch some.
The bike itself is great. It is an aluminum bike with a 56 frame size and it is a pleasure to ride. The bike weighs thirty pounds and I hung about three pounds of add-on items such as lights, tool bag with tools and a rear rack.
I have two other bikes. If I decide to buy yet another bike it will be from BikesDirect.
I received a bike with hidden damage. I shot an email to Bikes Direct and received a response from Larry in customer service the very next day. He proposed a solution that was very fair in my opinion and I'm a happy customer. It's really tough to give truly great customer service when you are dealing with a low margin, bulky product like a bike, and Bikes Direct did a good job in my case. I'm impressed with the product, price, and customer service.
Just installed a set of single speed Baker Street wheels on a commuter bike for my son. I only needed a rear wheel but the used wheels at the multitudes of shops her in Portland were all $70-$150! For a basic 10 year old wheel. I saw those while searching the web and at $49 including tires and tubes were worth a chance. What I got was a well built nameless double wall rim, a decent set of hubs, stainless spokes and a set of kenda tires. I thought I would have to true them and grease and adjust the hubs but they were perfect right out of the box. After reading negative stuff about bikes direct by the bike snobs I can tell you my experience was great. I raced bicycles for most of my youth, and worked in bike shops so I'm no novice. I got a solid set of wheels for a great price.
This is the second bike I have bought from Bikes Direct. I am sure I will buy more in the future. I had a defective part on my recent bike, but it was promptly replaced via priority mail, and I couldn't be happier with my bike! Thanks for the quick and courteous help Larry from BD!
Dave, satisfied customer.
The Boris X7 is my 6th bike from Bikesdirect and they just keep getting better. I bought the bike to counter all the potholes we have here in NYC and wow, I've gone from avoiding potholes, to trying to find them. As usual everything about the parts and build on the bike are above and beyond anything you will find anywhere else for the price. Highly suggested to buy this bike without hesitation.
I've been searching for two road bikes for my sons for several months. I've been looking at local bike shops as well as Bikes Direct. Bikes Direct had the best value by far, so I ended up purchasing two Gravity Avenue bikes for my sons for Christmas. Unfortunately, both bikes arrived with multiple scratches on the paint, a broken shifter on one bike, and a bent front dropout on the front fork of the other. Here's where the superior customer service comes in. I exchanged emails with Larry, providing pictures of the issues. Received a response the same day (within one hour) with a resolution, replacement parts, and tracking info. Even though the bikes were a bit beat up upon arrival, the superior customer service provided will drive me to purchase my next bike at Bikes Direct. Many thanks Larry!
The nearest place to buy a bicycle was in a shopping mall, and thoae guys wanted an absurd amount for something basic.
I purchased the FSX dual bike from bikesdirect and am more than satisfied with my purchase. Bike rides as it should and I have more money for beer
Nervous about buying a bike online without sitting on it but I couldn't pass up that price!
Got it in a little less than a week, had it thrown together in 25 minutes.
After some tweaks and tuning over the next day or two, I had a bona fide bicycle!
Sorry to say this, but I got shipped a bike I can't ride. The forks where chipped and the top right fork is bent. I've Hurd great things about this place and am going to review how there return policy is like. Also there costumer service. It took 7 days for it to ship. Not bad at all for how far it was shipped. Package was shipped at 8:20 and emailed bikes direct at 9:30. I'm hopping for a quick return.
Got my bike with in two weeks. Great price. It takes a few days for them to get back to you have you purchase the bike but I think that's just because of Covid. Once they get back you the bike comes in like 5 days. Real quick. Would definitely recommend them
Have bought 5 bikes from $400 to 1300, none were damaged, all assembly went pretty smooth. I'm no expert and did get a cyclocross bike serviced at a local bike shop where the kid working there was impressed to where he was pissing off his boss. You should really research what you want/need and spend a little more to get more value and a better bike
Well I got my bike from Bikes Direct and I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and design of it!
Ordering was easy too!
My rear wheel for the bike arrived damaged so I emailed customer service and got a very quick response from Larry from Bikes Direct and he quickly made it right by helping me and shipped me a new wheel right away and made sure I was happy!
You can have great prices and products but if you have e bad customer service all that means nothing so thank you Larry and Bikes Direct!
Great experience all around!
I purchased a bike and it was delivered on time. It was defective and not the color advertised/purchased. Even though they have what I want in stock, they don't do exchanges. In order to return the bike they want ME to pay to return it to THEM.
They don't stand behind their product.
Hello. I want to share my experience with this service. First of all, I like cycling it's my hobby. That's why I need spare parts for my bicycle more often than others. This service helped me a lot that I can enjoy my time.
I decided to review BD after a couple years of being their customer. Theyve yet to let me down in the service department, sending me a new wheel for free the time my original was damaged in shipping.
The bikes always look slick and ride slicker (if that's a word) and my family and I couldnt be happier!
Service rep. Larry is the great man to take care of my needs.
He responded with urgency and care. He did even go extra miles for my need.
I really appreciate your customer care and I will come back to shop!
Answer: I would recommend that you think about a hybrid bike first, as the tires are larger & the 26 inch wheels are a bit stronger. Also, you will be more comfortable riding on an upright position. If you like it, use it to loose weight while saving for a decent road bike.
Answer: Hi - the bike depends upon the type of riding you want to do and what you want out of riding. Do you want comfort? Durability? Speed? More upright riding position? Definitely want to look at bikes with larger tires as they would be more comfortable. The CycleCross type bikes are fast but have a bit larger tires for more durability and comfort than a skinny tire road bike. Check out the OmniStrada which have knobbier and larger tires than the regular cross bikes. They also have top tech tubeless compatible rims which you can easily convert with sealant and kit to being virtually flat free :) Check them out: http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/cross_bikes.htm
Answer: No. The bike should come ready to ride.
Answer: I ordered after hours on Wednesday night, recived confirmation of payment via PayPal instantly. Email receipt received Friday morning.
