First-time poster so please be gentle!

Does anyone have experience of buying bikes from the German website bike-discount.de ? I missed the boat on a lot of the end of season sales and they are the last company stocking the bike I'm after. Also, is there a difference with the brake set up when buying from Europe?

Thanks in advance

    I've bought components from them a few times, always been good. never done a whole bike and never needed to test their returns.

    I've used them. Much cheaper for the tyres I wanted and it all arrived within 2-3 days. Would definitely use again.

    Just bought a set of Mavic Ksryium Elites. Great price. Quick service.

    Thanks for the advice. I've managed to find the bike in stock in the UK now and negotiated a price almost as good - worth the peace of mind to buy from a local store I think. Can't wait to pick it up on Saturday!
