Just a quick line to praise Merlin Cycles. Ordered a pair of Easton Haven bars in black 8) yesterday morning and received at 10am this morning (free delivery option aswell :D

Oh, and they were cheapest on the net (£56 as long as you`re signed up for the VIP club)!

This is the best service I have received by any cycle retailer...anyone else in agreement???

    I can also confirm amazing service. Ordered in the afternoon - received before 9am the next day. Not bad for free postage. Even better though was the after service. I ordered some forks (at £100 less than CRC too :) ) and they forgot to include the poploc. One call answered within two rings by a human (rather than a 'press one etc' machine) who got the part in the post to me again arriving next day :) . Highly recommended.

    Yeah Merin have always been almost telepathic when I've ordered stuff, the thing is how on earth do they get the royal fail to deliver so quick? :o

    Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:

    Haven't used Merlin as yet but reading all the positive reviews I'll now start. Nice to see a good news thread re a supplier
