Hi, I just wanted to ask is Bikeisland.com a trust able site to buy from? because i was think of buying a uni from them.

Thanks.:smiley:

A lot of people gave bought from their and have got their unis so I would say so. Iā€™ll be able to tell you for sure once my friend gets his in.

Iā€™ve gotten a KH Trials and KH 29 from BI. The 29 came with dual hole Moments and a Nevegal, whereas the site advertises 150mm Moments and a WTB Stout. The KH Trials was back orderd a week, but came as described.

I have exchanged e-mails with the ower, heā€™s pretty responsive.

If itā€™s the place Iā€™m thinking of, itā€™s kind of a squirrely deal. They are in Plano, which is just a few miles over from where I am. But they donā€™t have a ā€œBike Islandā€ retail store. But there is some retail store there- Cycle Spectrum or something like that- that sells the same stuff. Only if you pick it up, they charge the same as the shipped price even though thereā€™s no shipping. Seems like they sell or did sell on Ebay under a different name (looking just now, I find the BikeIslandSite or something like that, with a bunch of Gravity unicycles). And seems like they may be connected with Bikes Direct, but Iā€™d have to go back and look that up. Anyway, itā€™s not quite the straightforward operation that youā€™d expect.

Yeah, hereā€™s the website for Cycle Spectrum- same address as shown for Bike Island:

Iā€™m sure Kris knows about it alredy.:wink:

Finally found info on Bikesdirect, it is part of the same operation:
ā€œBikesdirect.com is the brainchild of David Sander, a 44-year-old Texas entrepreneur whose roots in the business go back to 1985. Over the past 10 years, Sander has helped put together the Houston-based 35-store Cycle Spectrum chain, with sales estimated at $17 million. Bikesdirect is a separate enterprise, a nine-month-old company with four employees that draws its goods from Cycle Spectrumā€™s massive inventory but otherwise operates independently.ā€

You can trust them.
