I am a new member to this bike forum, I have been in other bike forums but this forum in particular receives a lot of attention from the people at Bikes Direct.
I wanted to know what happened to the Campy bikes from Bikes direct… Why are they no longer offered. They were once offered, in fact I own a Campy Record Sprint Euro that I got a few years ago. I still have the page for it saved on my computer. http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/bottecchia/bzeuro_pre.htm. I had other bikes before it, and I was hesitant at first to trust a bike from Bikes Direct. Especially from the bad rap I heard about it. I am glad that I did not listen to it. Four years later and I have no regrets about the purchase. It is the best bike I own. I went from disbelief, to belief. And now I support bikes direct, because there are just so many haters out there who don’t have a BD bike, don’t know much about BD, and don’t understand anything about it. I always get questions about the bike, I just tell everyone that is great, because it is.
From what I remember the Campy bikes for BD sold like wildfire. No more than a week after I bought mine they were all sold out. Bike Island (which everyone says is a co-company of bikes direct) offers a Campy Chorus set… So why are no bikes offered on bikes direct equipped with Campy? There is availability of it. And if you were able to offer them before with success I am sure you can offer them now and have similar success.
This one is for Mike, the guy who is with bikes direct… I suggest that you consider bringing back the Campy equipped bikes. Campy equipped bikes are becoming a rarity nowadays. All I see now is Shimano and SRAM. There are strong loyalists to Campy (I am one of them), as Campy is a great component maker. I think that there is a market out there for you, and if you were to ask anyone here I believe that they would love to see you bring the Campy bikes back. In fact, I would probably buy another.
Good companies listen to their customers. And having done business with you before I believe you are a good company.
It is a suggestion and request from a loyal customer, bring back the Campy bikes.
Thanks
