Hi Sandra,

I just ordered the willow on thursday. Bikedirect shipped it on friday. I did send them an email early last week asking them a couple of questions about the bike and the shipping, but I still haven't heard back. I thought I'd chance going ahead with getting the bike, but it has been a very solipsistic and anonymous experience, which of course gives anyone who is buying something as personal as a bike a bit of anxiety. Nevertheless, hearing the comments from asphaltgirl has made me feel better about my decision. I would prefer to support local businesses but I just don't have the money right now, and I needed to have it boxed and ready for shipping when I received it, since I'm heading back to Belgium from NYC in a couple weeks. Everything seems to be working out well. I hope the bike fits my girlfriend and she is happy with it.
