Great inventory, great service Sourcing parts for classic bikes (in my case, a 1972 Peugeot PX-10) is difficult unless you find the right sources, and Ben's is now one of them. I needed an inexpensive but good-qualityFrench headset and two handlebar clamping bolt sets for Nitto (1-inch quill) stems. Ben's had both a Velo Orange French headset and the Nitto bolt-washer-nut sets at the best prices--PLUS free shipping. Everything was shipped and arrived quickly. Now all I need to do is build the bike up for Eroica California inApril 2016... ;-)

Tried 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.

Great 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,

Had 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.

Poor 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.
