| I got the bike, put it together, and since I got it back from
my brother, I've been riding it every day. A fine bike.
Bikecology was supposed to ship the bike within 2 days of my
order and UPS shipping takes 7 working days. However, they "had
some problems getting the bikes through customs". So it took an
extra 3-4 days.
Also, Bikecology will only ship to the address on the credit
card, so I couldn't send it to my parents home where someone could
sign for it.
Overall, Bikeology seems to have very good prices, but be prepared
for some mild hassles. Even with these reservations, I would be
willing to do business with them again.
Also of interest is the fact that they have many more models
of bicycles than they advertise in Bicycling Magazine. Some examples
are listed below:
Panasonic DX-4000
(Shimano 105, Tange Champion Frame) $379
Specialized Stumpjumper
(Deore II) $659
Anonymous Manufacturer "Stealth" Bike
(Ultegra, Tange Prestige) $699
Remember - no tax, shipping included

| I have some additional random information which I dug up for
a noter who sent me mail. I thought it might be of general interest.
They can ship to Europe in two ways:
1. Federal Express, at an approximate cost of over US$100,
2. US Mail to a Post Office Box in Europe (APO), at an
approximate cost of US$35.
