My son son had been saving for a bike for almost a year. He found a bike on this site and I ordered it. On the first ride the frame cracked just below the water bottle screw, possible defect. I called ahead to get return approval which was a lengthy email process and sending in photos. The return was approved, I packed the bike and returned it through FedEx, bikesdirect claims they never received it. So my son has been without a bike and the company kept his money! Terrible thieves!
