I just ordered my first Bikesdirect bike: a Motobecane Fantom CXX cyclocross bike. The frame is a clone of the Surly Crosscheck and it's got SRAM Apex. I haven't gotten it yet, it's due to arrive tomorrow! I'll post about it later.

So did you get it eofelis???
I did get the CXX bike! It looks sharp in white! All the parts on it are black.
But the build has been delayed. I did order (from elsewhere) a SRAM Apex crankset in 165mm to swap out the 170s, and cross top levers. I got those.
But when we tried to put the front wheel on the bike we discovered that the fork was damaged or defective and the space between the dropouts was 2cm too narrow. So we got to see what their customer service was like. They emailed us back right away and had a fork off another CXX bike (that had a damaged frame) to send us. Should get that next week. The new fork is from a larger frame size and will have a bit taller head tube, which I am happy about.
I'll post pics in a new thread eventually.
