My DH also bought a BF in around 2001 or 2002. He had a very good experience. He used it for a few years, took to Spain and the UK on business trips, but he sold it when we bought our Gurus in 2010. In fact, most of the inquiries came from Asia, and he ended up shipping it to Taiwan. I guess it makes sense as he is 5'7" and most Americans are taller.
I think a bike is the only thing I wouldn't buy online.
