Somebody looks like a shill

Legal action doesn’t always mean suing over here.

There are plenty of examples above this post to justify the shit they’ve got… in this very thread, not too far from people who have registered purely to post once, on this thread, about getting a decent service.

Shiny Bikes didn’t have the best reputation either. Join the dots, don’t join the dots… but surely you can see why others have joined the dots.

Yep, agreed.

Some people maybe need to read through the whole thread, wish I had before I ordered from them.  

I posted another thread on here called “Are Race View Cycles the worst retailer ever”  after my own bad experience.  My stuff never turned up.  I had to fight with my credit card company to get the money back.  

Was supposed to be a xmas present for me too…still not found a replacement.  I was gutted, then I got angry.  So yep after my own experience and then reading what everyone else had to say, I got even more pissed off.

So yep I can understand why they are hated.  I was shocked at the threats they were making to genuine posters too

I see rumours that they are not sending any more orders out now.  That they are about to go bust, saw it on another bike forum

So read all this thread, read my other thread, plenty of comments on it too, and read other comments on other forums.  Wish I had.

join the dots

Lastly, Not sure why everyone hates the shit out of this retailer. Think you missed the part of the ‘ discussion ‘ early on where they were threatening legal action against anybody who was raising legitimate issues they had had with said retailer.

So? Why would I care about that? I’m a pro mechanic and I pay wholesale (if anything at all) for virtually everything cycling related. Only reason I used Race View is because I can’t get the item I needed here in the US. They were so innexpensive that the price I paid would have been the wholesale price in the US anyway. I will likely never use their services again. Only reason I’m posting here is because you chaps had me spooked that I lost my money placing an order with Race View.

Personally I couldn’t care less about them, but you did ask why there were people on here ‘ hating ‘ them.

Eh, they’re not suing anyone. Hot air – which is par for the course on a forum. They got my cash, I got my stuff. If you wan’t cheap prices and you aren’t a panicky consumer you’ll be fine with this retailer.

Bottom line: Wiggle was $220 with free shipping and Race View was $160 with $20 shipping. 11 day delivery from England. I’m good with it.

Lastly,

Not sure why everyone hates the shit out of this retailer. Yeah they’re a bit shabby, site still says “processing” on the order I just received, and they ship carbon forks in an envelope. Still it was damn cheap and one of the only two places I could find a 1″ Columbus Minimal Fork. And unfortunately I did not get the old, glossy finish I was hoping for.

Also another caveat. I was told this was the “last one” they had. Site still says “in stock”. So if you are in a rush to get your stuff, call or email to get verification on inventory.

I saved $40 using Race View over Wiggle.

Hi again,

Hi again,

​Well the fork arrived today. Ordered Feb. 02, 2017 – received Feb. 13, 2017. Not bad. Only issue is that they sent the fork under-protected in a bubble wrap lined envelope. Hardly industry standard for shipping a carbon fork. It arrived seemingly unharmed – however I might hesitate ordering anything fragile in the future.

All these first time posters,

All these first time posters, still appearing out of the woodwork with their so called positive “reviews”  all seems a bit fishy to me.   The latest review seems to be about some other company called Race Way!!! lol

Last I heard they were in serious trouble and aren’t sending out any orders they receive.

I am sure anyone with a brain or any common sense will be able to read these reviews and know to avoid Race View Cycles like the plague.

Placed an order for Campagnolo Zonda C17 wheels with Race View which were considerably cheaper than the regular sites.

Then found this post and started to worry,  thought it would turn into a load of hassle.

I heard nothing for a few days so phoned and spoke to John. He said because of the Xmas break they were behind with sending orders out and that it would be despatched that day (Friday) and I’d receive the wheels Tuesday the following week. They actually arrived a day early on the Monday.

I’m not saying people haven’t had problems with Race View but my order went pretty smoothly. Maybe they’ve got their act together?

I’m not from the USA and yes I’ve had to join the forum and this is my first post but just thought I’d share my experience.

 

Are Chicken Cyclekit (shown on box)  related to Raceview?
