Reply To: Anyone buy a bike from Bikes Direct?

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I recently ordered the 529HT from bikesdirect.  Placed the order on a Thursday evening, fedex was looking for the house on Saturday afternoon!</p>
My first time assembling a bike, took longer than anticipated.  Only had to fine tune the front derailer, brakes needed no bleeding.

Actually got the wrong color of frame, factory put white frame in orange box.  Not a big issue, but BD credited me some for it.

Good quality components,  but feel that the handlebars could be better.

Had it over a month, been on some trails, took a few good spills,  all is still great.

Want to get a different stem and bars,  maybe better tires when these wear out.
