GBA great online bike resource! I love Ben's Cycle! I live in Chicago so shipping is crazy fast. When I need something quick I like to use them. Returns have always been quick and easy as well, which can be a major pain from other suppliers. I like that they provide thorough order tracking and documentation too, which has been helpful as a reference for insurance, future parts ordering, etc. Their selection of parts runs a good range from top end to more budget friendly to please most customers. I know other sites that stock only cutting edge, high priced gear so it's nice to have affordable options without feeling like I'm buying junk. Even their lower end parts still feel like good quality. I've built a couple of bikes up from parts from Ben's so far and plan on using them on future projects.

GBA nice find for US fixed-gear riding I see few quality steel 3/32-inch track cogs outside of Shimano Dura-Ace, which go up to only 16 teeth. So it was nice to find Milwaukee/Ben's had bigger sizes -- and that they were made in the USA. The fellow who took my order was friendly and helpful, and the shipping cost was remarkably low. The cog arrived in Kansas in just a couple of working days. I'm happy.

GBGreat Price/Fast Arrival on My Tektro Retro Brakes I was looking for some Tektro R559 Long Reach Brakes with regular nut attachment for my old Raleigh Gran Sport bike. Ben's had them for a great price plus a special free shipping deal. They arrived 3 days later - probably would have been quicker but USPS was slow to get them out to my building, not Ben's fault. I had ordered some MKS pedals several years ago and again, a great deal and quick arrival. Kudos.

GBHad hard to find tires. Easily corrected my error when I requested in-store pick up. They had Gatorskin Hardshells in 27 inch size. Got them in 2 or 3 days without paying for premium shipping. When I saw on my receipt that I had indicated in-store pickup, it was easily corrected with a phone call.

IDPoor customer service. Fake promo. Trying to take advantage of the Black Friday promo. I ordered a bike accessory via their website. My payment got refunded and they denied my order with a reason they won't ship to my country because they said my country would deny any packages from the US. Ridiculous reason! I told them that I don't have any problem with packages from the US and have been receiving packages from the US normally since the last 4 months. The worst is, the person who communicated with me via email is very rude. He didn't answer my simple question about what shipping service that they use or details where they find the news that my country is not receiving packages from the US, because even USPS didn't mention any info about that. Seems they just don't want to give the discount to the customer. Poor service. Fake promo.
