Well, I don't know if it is quite a scam because they did deliver the Nukeproof pads promptly and they are the same as the Roach pads but with different labeling. The thing that bothered me was that when I called and placed the order they said they had the Roach pads in stock. Then, a couple of days later they call and say they only have the Nukeproof pads. They guy said they bought a Sea Container of the not yet labeled Roach pads and put their own Nukeprook label on them. I now have both the Nukeproof and the original Roach pads and they are the same pads. None the less, the experience left a bad taste in my mouth and I've never considered ordering from them again.
BYOA
unions don t exist in this country... who are you trying to kid... but there will be free buckets of animal blood... i find this adds to the whole experience, run inside, naked except for a loin cloth... beating ya fists on ya blood smeared chest... good times, good times...
I just had a friend who ordered a MZ Z.1. He phoned it in and got it in two days.
I asked who he ordered it from and when he told me Beyond Bikes I flipped my lid. They have never been that fast. It was prob. a 1/1000 shot.

Can I wear an animal head on top of mine? And what about fire, are we going to have torches? I'm dragging my axe down to the grinding wheel right now. You think a straight edge on it, or should I work up a nice serrated pattern?
tell him to buy a lottery ticket...I just had a friend who ordered a MZ Z.1. He phoned it in and got it in two days.

tattoo, serrated edge... maximum damage...
Finally I ordered the RFX from Beyondbikes and I got it without any problem. I wanted a large frame in grey powdercoated color and I got it what I want, but the frame original color was green anodized (I can see it in the BB shell, in the head- and seat tube) !!
uhhhh, what. do they even sell them in grey powder coat. are you sure the head tube and such are anodized?
I would take it back.
Does Go-ride pricematch?

You need to fly on the same airline that Uma Thurman used in "Kill Bill..."They won't let whuppin sticks on planes anymore.
Wonder if we can get the guys who made CLOROPHILLA or Freewheel Burning to come help us make the three part epic Kill Beyond Bikes.
I get to be Bud, complete with the shotgun full of rocksalt and a midget grave digger. However, this time that bitch is staying down and I am getting the Hatori Hanzo Foes...

So the're not only scamming people from another countries then??? I had an awfull experience with Beyond bikes, I'm from Costa Rica and I went to Moab last year. I called them and the guy offered me the same deal of buy $500 and get free headset, so I got an Fox Talas and never received my headset,after 3 weeks waiting of course, I called Beyond bikes and that guy McCoy, I like to call him Mc Sucks!!, told me that the promotion only applies for northamerican citizens and that he can't do nothing... So what's the deal outsiders $$$ is not good for them
i got my $180 dollars fox pressure suit for $100 dollars.
i dont know how i did it but it was a super bargain!
i deal with beyond bikes strictly cause they do what they promissed me. They deliver and then they send me a follow up e-mail. The stock guy checked in with me to make sure everything was ayeet.
I have shopped there 3 times and will go back again.
Cambria..on theother hand...will NEVER accept anything after it's been opened. How can you tell if it fits or is the right colour or style?
The XXL was a kids size and it looked like a small on me. I ate it as it was openned. Totally sucked. They also sold me a mars elite in 02 and it had uneven dropouts so the dishing was off no matter what wheel went on. I ate that too.

When it comes to buying anything online, I always make sure it's currently "in stock" before giving them my $$. I've been bit too many times by back orders and out of stock issues.
So I've come down to a resolution. I support my LBS's. We all need them from time to time and if we don't support them, they won't be there when we need them. True, sometimes there are better deals online, but if you figure in the shipping and waiting time, it's usually more cost/time effective to get it locally.

i´m from chile and last year i bought a couple of things there (body armor and gloves) and they sent me all that i bought, but the shipping took like a month?? something like that... even when i paid a 3 days shipping... so... at least i received all the stuff i bought ´cause from chile is very hard to go to US to talk with them...
So, reading all this topic... i guess i must feel lucky...
see you..
sorry my amateur english (shame on me)

Most of the time the bike shop takes longer to get parts instock than mailorder sites. I buy from both the bike shops and from mailorder and when the bike shop does'nt have a part instock they order things on Wednesday so if it's Friday your screwd.
Some orders take a week some take 2 or 3 weeks. I'm on week #3 for a set of lock on grips from the local shop... WTF! Again I could have gone mailorder and had them cheaper and much faster!
I always give the shop the chance to compete before buying online.
I've been down this road a few times too. From my experience, bike shops do order once a week but that does not mean they ordered the part you need. They often forget to place your order or are unable to order from a paticular supplier until their bill is paid current which they will never tell you. I have heard this several times from former employees who also had to varrify bank funds before depositing their paychecks. Unfortunately there are a bike shops owned by people with absolutely no business since what so ever. Most shops are not this way but there are still plenty that are. They usually go out of business after a couple of years. Online bike retailers have their faults too. They often say the item is in stock and it's not, which of course, delays delivery. Another thing they do is say the item is available instead of in stock which means they can order the item and ship it out to you once they get it. I think this is a little misleading. Your card gets charged immediately when you place the order even though they don't have the item in stock. Then there are shops that got it together, know how to run a business and do what they say they are going to do whey they say they are going to do it. Whether it be ordering a part or repairing your bike. Consequently, these shops seems to do a tremendous business, move a lot of inventory and have friendly and knowledgeable employees. Yes, you probably pay MSRP for the item but you get it when promissed more often than not. Nothing bugs me more than a business that over commits then under delivers.
That and the fact that my local bike shops think you can just wait till they decide they have enough stuff together to make a big order, to save money on shipping, or get a better price break.
Yet.... the don't give you any type of discount for waiting so they can save money.Sometimes this takes up to a month to get the stuff you orderd. If I'm buying a bike I'll go to the bike shop. But when I need grips,tires,etc.... I'm going to buy online.
The grips just kind of sent me over the top, because it's a small item to them, and they don't care when you get it. They won't even follow up on the order to find out when they will come in. It might not be alot of money I spent there, but at least it was spent there and not on the internet. The sad thing is... If I had orderd them online, I would have got a better deal, and they would be half way broken in by now.

They used to sponsor my team and never honored any of our discounts. When we placed orders, they lost them and we never received any product, although many of us were charged. The reason there is no longer a Beyond Bikes team is that they promised to pay for entry fees and lodging but never stepped up. They lick donkey balls. Never, ever, ever do business with those jacka$$es. They just assume that since they are so large they can treat people like smam.
Okay, this all happened a few years ago and I think its been long enough to share without any reprecautions happening to those involved...
A friend of mine does various website designs and advertising layouts. A few years ago Beyond Bikes called him up saying they needed a super fast turn-around on a complex ad for a bike magazine. You've seen their ads in the mags, a ton of work goes in to putting all of those ads together. The job was several thousand dollars worth of work and Beyond Bikes said they would have a check in the mail that week, but begged him to do the work prior to being paid so they could get the ad in the magazine in time. He did the work and to this day has never been paid. They gave him every excuse in the book until he finally cut his losses and moved on.
So don't worry guys, it's not just you (the paying customer) that they rip off; they will rip off anyone they possibly can.
I have never personally ordered from them because I found your posts about them and can easily see you guys aren't just a bunch of worked-up, impatient people blaming the bike shop because UPS/FedEx was late delivering your order. So I thank you all for exposing Beyond Bikes for what they are. I doubt they will be around if they keep up their current practices.

I placed an order with Beyond Bikes for a bianchi pista back in November 2007. I was told when i ordered it that it was in stock and would be shipped out in about a week. They charged half the price of the bike to my credit card. Two weeks pass and i have no bike.
I email Beyond Bikes, never heard a responce back. Few days later i give them a call and they tell me my bike is backordered. Well maybe you should of checked that before you tell me when i called that you had it in stock and you charged my credit card. I was then told they would ship it out to me in late December. Late December comes, still no bike.
I call on January 7th, and Beau tells me they will have it by the end of February. End of February comes, still no bike. I call again and Beau once again tells me the manufacture is shipping it to them on March 7th. He said it would take five days to get to them. (Ohio to San Diego) I give them a call on March 17th, still, no bike!
I speak to Mike and he tells me he will call Bianchi real quick to see where it is, and will give me a call back. Hours pass and i get no call back. I decide to call back and cancel my order. Mike then said " well wait, i will call bianchi for you" (werent you supposed to do that earlier?) He tried to give me a lower price, but i declined his offer. I'd rather go somewhere else than keep waiting.
I will never order something from Beyond Bikes again.

Everything is always "in stock" with them. Omce burned, twice shy. I dont care if they had the last one of anything, and I was standing in the store looking at it, I got the best price ever and a bj on top of it, I won't buy anything from them ever again...
the horror storys from beyond bikes continue. i have never had a problem with them , but i know it's just a matter of time before i do.
I ordered some bars, a neck and some tires late last year. Tires come in good time, but nothing else. They charged double the full amount of all products. I called explained that I only got part of my order and got charged double for everything. They said no problem, said he'd give me a discount on the tires for my trouble. Check my online statement, BB charged me some abstract number that came to more than my original order should have totaled with all parts. Called again, he said "The rest of the parts are coming, let me adjust your bill." Check my statement again, he charges me full price plus shipping (which was supposed to be free) and sends an email saying things are even.
Finally I get him to give me our agreed upon price, with discount, but a charge from shipping.
The guys' name was Carey and he acted like every time we spoke he was giving me some smoking deal. He tried really hard to make me feel like I was getting this inside deal, it was so over the top.

We should have an RM consumer reporter show up on their doorstep. I'm thinking I know the perfect person for the job.
Definitely send a Casanova type.
I'll let you know when I arrive.

I want to go to the actual shop someday. Just to see Cary/Jim/Joe/Bob or whoever he is today. I called a few times, and got the same guy using a different name. Each time he sounded wasted.
We should send the original e-jihadist, MBC.
