Considering a gruppo buy from them, but as always there's an unknown about a first time buy over the net.

Anyone have any feedback on them? Are they a reliable outfit?
Thanks!

    Give Mike a ring and I'm sure it'll put your mind at rest, he seems really pleasant!

    Thanks Nap D.

    Will try when the time zones get sorted out. Our clocks go one way or another tonight. Can never remember which.

    Is it a public holiday in UK on Monday?

    Have just bought, sight unseen, a Colnago E1 frameset. I'm thinking a new 11sp Record or SR might be nice with it!

    Maestro is run by Mike Perry, he's been in the trade for over 30 years and has a great reputation for selling nice Italian bikes. Doesn't suffer fools and tyre-kickers though - make your mind up, put your money down and walk away with a good deal. Most of his business is selling Colnago builds to the US, so best time to call/visit him is earlier in the day before the US wakes up. When I get round to buying another Colnago that's where I'll go.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    He put his money where his mouthis and tried valiantly to start a pro team about 12 years ago. As has been said, he doesn't suffer fools but I've never heard a bad word about him.
