Gotta link?

 

pretty much means bikesonline.com

probably legit since they sell bikes allowed to be sold online
and many are OOS or pre-order only

 

Bikes dot com is awesome

 

There have been a few reviews on here about bikes coming new from bikesonline with deep scratches, things bent up. These aren't deal breakers necessarily but expect to go over your bike to tighten stuff up and expect almost no support if something is wrong with the bike.

I'm not currently looking for a bike but I think I'll pass next time. My last new bike I got from Chain Reaction and I can't say enough good things about them.

 

Bikes Online | Best Online Bicycle Shop USA there's the link. they ship bikes they get from Australia from California. i don't know if they're a good investment.

 

They are the only way to get a polygon bike in America...so for all those people who love their polygon Sisku's, they got them from bikes online

 

thanks

 

I ordered two hard tails from them last year for the kids. Solid bikes for the money. There are lots of YouTube reviews of their various offerings, and they are better spec’s in terms of components than comparably priced bikes from your LBS. That said, their frames are a bit heavier, and you won’t get the same level of support. Also, there are currently shipping delays of 2 weeks to 4 months depending on size and model.

 

Think its over 4 months now. Last email said they had Covid outbreak in their wearhouse. Do the bikes get shipped to Australia in Polygon boxes then reboxed and shipped to California in bikesonline boxes?

If they have a COVID outbreak and can't ship anything they should be refunding money. But nope....dey keeps yer money.

 

I ordered my wife a Siskiu T8 29" medium frame on Oct 22 and I got a Fedex shipping notification on Dec 30, bike should be here on Thursday, ready to sit in the basement until spring!

 

We got a bike from them and no problems- it was actually assembled properly, we just had to put the handlebars on. All components were installed well and the bike is excellent for the cost (D7).

 

NEW UPDATE:

Bikesonline is now blaming FEDEX over why we are not getting our bikes:

Sounds like quite an aggressive tone you're taking?

BikesOnline shipped my order on 12/30, here's the Fedex tracking data:

Estimated deliver is today, Fedex still shows as 'on time' and the shipment is somewhere between New Mexico and New Hampshire.

 

BikesOnline is correct. Supreme Court hearing on vaccine mandate tomorrow. Fedex may lose a large portion of its workforce. Insider traders have been dumping Fedex stock.

 

Aggressive tone? Did you read BikesOnlines recent update? lol

Siskiu T8 delivered today and I was pretty impressed with how it was packaged. Mostly assembled, had to connect the dropper to the cable, attach the bar and pedals and attach the dropper lever to the bars. Includes a small pedal wrench and a torque wrench with a selection of bits. The included pedals are pretty nice for ‘freebies’, aluminium with hex pins.

The various pieces were all attached securely to the frame reusable Velcro straps with foam pads to protect finishes.

 

Ordered the T8 from Bikesonline back in mid-December. Estimated shipping date was initially March 2nd. Received it February 3rd. Dropper post clamp was bent enough that I could not get it attached to the bike. Reached out to Bikesonline and they sent a replacement out within the week. Pretty decent customer service. I would buy from them again.

But Fedex was a problem. They had indicated a signature was needed and I waited on the promised delivery date and it never came. It came the next day and was just dropped at my door, no signature requested. Hope Fedex get's their crap together (or they will be absorbed by Amazon).

Enjoying the T-8, especially going downhill.

 

They’re very price competitive for what you get. Geometries are pretty decent compared to Bikes Direct bikes. The communication around ordering and delivery is very good as well.

However, I recently had a warranty issue with a brake caliper on a Strada 6 and BO customer service was a PITA to deal with. I sent their c/s multiple emails with pictures illustrating the failure of the caliper, and they kept asking for more, claiming Shimano wanted detailed pictures inside the caliper. It’s a $25 part so I call BS on that.

If you order from BO you can expect a halfway decent bike, but the warranty service is a pain to deal with. They don’t have enough profit margin on the lower end stuff to be warranting anything, so beware.

In their defense they don't offer any warranty, that comes from the manufacturers and BO is just the middleman. What gets annoying is if the manufacturer tells you to go through your dealer...
