I've been looking to buy a pair of GP 4 Seasons and some tubes, they look a fair amount cheaper if purchased from Germany, even including shipping, anyone have expirience of this and any tips / recommended shops etc?

    bike-discount.de has been very good in the past. Pretty quick to get the goods over too. They sell a great range of German brands too. Red GP 4000s to go with the Equilibrium?! 30 euros a shot...

    Have just received my order from rosebikes, took 3 days to arrive and you can track the order. Have used bike24 as well and they also take about 3 working days to deliver. Even have done a warranty return with bike24, which took a while, but was painless.

    Have used bike-discount.de, flawless service, delivery was trackable and took about 3/4 working days - on this particular occasion I also gave and order to spa cycles on the same day - the german parts were delivered a full 3 days before the UK parts! Wouldnt hesitate to use again.
