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.

GBFast, acccurate service Ben's Cycle had the complete inventory of items I was looking for in one place. Surprisingly, larger supply houses did not have all the components I needed. Ben's prices were reasonable and the shipping was great. I had a good experience and would go back to them for future cycling parts needs.

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.

GBGreat selection of bicycle gear. I'm a 'do it yourself' cyclist, have done all the work to my bikes for years (build indestructible wheels!). I mainly buy parts, common like tires, hard to find like non-standard cluster spacers and cleats/toe clips/straps for old school and track pedals. Ben's has served me well since I found it a few years ago, has had many of the parts I have needed. I always see what they have when I need something and they often get my order,

GBTried hard, but missed the point I was connected to Ben's through an ebay link and Ben's procured from Surly a cyclocross fork. Through an email exchange, I was told that Ben's would get the fork on a Monday and it would be shipped same day and would arrive via two-day delivery on a Wed. Ben's didn't get the fork on time and it didn't get me the fork within 2 days after it was received. Ben's credited me the shipping. The far bigger problem was that the fork shown on ebay indicated it had a 1" steerer tube and the fork I received has 1-1/8" tube. Customer service after I raised that point was poor and I have never been able to figure out what went wrong.
