Wanna see some super funtimes bikes?

(Momovelo link)
We interupt this oggling of shiny bike parts for a Public Service message...

Look, but don't touch.

Be warned, the guy who runs this place is notorious for charging people's credit cards and not delivering the goods.

From time to time a couple of email lists I follow (the Rivendell list and the Bridgestone Owners Bunch list) has a new bunch of postings from people who discover they weren't the only ones to be ripped off by this guy.

It's a shame, because he carries a lot of neat stuff - I've been to his store (excuuuse me, his Atelier ) and my husband purchased his Riv Atlantis from this guy - and then had to re-do the cabling and various other poorly assembled bits, but that was OK by my husband, he likes to tinker. But, based on others' experiences I consider ourselves fortunate we were not swindled. We dealt with him directly and not via mail order. Still, he started flaking out on us near the end too, but we still feel we got a good deal on the bike so no particularly hard feelings on our end.

Nevertheless, based on others' bad experiences I cannot recommend doing any kind of business with Momovelo.

- Jo, end of Public Service Message
