Got in a couple bicycle assembly jobs this week that came from from Bikes direct. this bike was touted @ a savings of $500, to that I say thank God. It is a Windsor 1.0 Hybrid. Best attribute is a pretty frame. They claim 90% assembled. I wish it was about 30% assembled. Nothing I hate more than cables cut to short and not tucked properly, the wheels are way out of true. When they tout this is over a $600 dollar value..MMmm. I see about $150 to $200 value which means they paid to much in my book for the component level of this mode.l Has anybody here ever ordered from them? If so, tell us about it.
