1889.0. "A bike from a mail-order company?" by KIPPIS::LAAMANEN () Sun Mar 31 1991 10:23

    Hi,
    	I'm going to buy a new mountain bike, but unfortunately
    	I live in a very expensive country (Finland, one of the
    	most expensive in the world). Well, I wonder if you have
    	there in USA any mail-order companies, from where I could
    	buy the bike. 
    
    	I'm looking something for 600 $ - 1100$, for examples
    	TREK 970, KHS Montana Pro FZ ,,,
    
    Cycling is fun, thinks  Heimo

1889.1	some stores, shipping may be hard	ULTRA::WITTENBERG	Uphill, Into the Wind	`Mon Apr 01 1991 18:08`	11
	There are lots of mail order companies which sell bikes. I don't know how well they deal with customs. I'll try to give the cities they're in so you can get their phone numbers. the 800 numbers don't work across most country boundaries Some of them are Bike Nashbar (Youngstown Ohio); Performace bicycles (North Carolina), Colorado Cyclist; Cyclology. Good luck. --David
1889.2	In the UK	RUTILE::MACFADYEN	As any fule kno!	`Tue Apr 02 1991 03:43`	11
	There's a company in the UK that sells bikes by mail-order, and this year they're selling Trek. The company is Freewheel and their UK phone number is 051 708 5050. Here are the prices of the Trek mountain bikes they list: 830 �330 7000 �600 8000 �700 Rod
1889.3	Addresses help someone find out where to write or call for info	DECWET::BINGHAM	John Bingham	`Tue Apr 02 1991 21:02`	2
	Just giving company names to someone outside the USA is only part of the answer. If you list a company why not put the address and contact info?
1889.4	two addresses	SHALOT::ELLIS	John Lee Ellis - assembly required	`Tue Apr 02 1991 21:26`	7
	Bike Nashbar 4111 Simon Road Youngstown, OH 44512-1343 Performance Bicycle Shop P.O. Box 2741 Chapel Hill, NC 27514
1889.5	thanks for info and help	KIPPIS::LAAMANEN		`Thu Apr 04 1991 01:24`	6
	Hi, Thanks a lot for your help and information. I got a contact person from New England, who helped me to buy TREK 970. -- Heimo
1889.6	Spare catalogues ?	FILMS::PAXTON	Alan Paxton, VMS Engineering Ecosse	`Fri Apr 05 1991 07:34`	9
	On the same tack, does anyone in ZK have a spare Nashbar/Performance catalogue? A colleague is visiting the US next week, and he's offered to pick such up for me. My guessing is it would take forever to snail these people with the right amount of dollars for them to snail me a catalogue. Thanks, ---Alan
