Anyone ordered from RaceView Cycles in Co. Antrim ?

I purchased from Race View

I purchased from Race View Cycles a few weeks ago for the first time. I live in Seattle. The shop came up under a Google shopping search and had the lowest prices for this Sram crankset and derailleur. So I bought them without much hesitation. They shipped to my place within a week. I was very pleased. It was well packed. I’d buy from them again. I don’t know if it’s the euro currency exchange that I benefited from living in the states. I thought the euro was still stronger than the dollar. 

It’s a legitimate and trustworthy business. 

I’ve also had a dig around

I’ve also had a dig around the interweb and Dawn Gregg/Wilson look to be the same and listed on various company records as director or secretary of companies where a Mr Fraser Wilson is also listed as director. I’m spending my money elsewhere even if it costs more. A lot of people seem to have lost their hard earned with the shiny bikes debacle.

Ohh boy, this discussion has really blown up. I’m going to pass along my own experiences here as the original poster.

So I had actually placed an order with Raceviewcycles just before posting. That order has now arrived and everything is great. The goods were well packed and arrived in excellent condition. The original price on their website was competitive which was the main reason for making the order. I had spoken with John about some details and got a good response. Honestly, I’ve had worse service from one of the big online suppliers in the past. The package arrived, partially opened and one if the items was missing. It was only a small Birzman multitool. But despite informing them (E***S) I never heard back from them. I’ve had other instances of goods arriving in flimsy bubble wrapping bags from another of the big online operators.

So my experiences with Raceviewcycles for this order have been very acceptable.

Think it’s fair to say that it’s usually a safer bet to stick with the big retailers.
You have a very similar style of writing to RaceviewEquestrian by the way.

Thanks for letting us know, Bill. Good to know you got a good service.

Yup – they’ve removed the hissyfit as quoted by “harragan”

As equestrian people they should understand about stable doors and bolting horses….

A family run equestrian business, with a chartered accountancy background, and 25 years road cycling sales experience since the Giro passed by 2 years ago?

(And a marketing manager acting as if they’re still in primary school, or maybe a marketing manager looking at whoever wrote the above post in horror.)

Prices arn’t even that good.

And a lack of reviews online for either company would have me staying away.

How do you explain that, if

How do you explain that, if you Google “site:raceviewcycles.com shiny”, the search results for the Vittoria inner tubes has a description that reads “Shiny Bikes special saver pack of 20 Vittoria boxed inner tubes 700c 1923mm.”

Of course, when you click through, that particular page of the site has since been updated to remove the reference to Shiny Bikes.

I’ve taken a screenshot and I’m sure those of us who are about to receive a solicitor’s letter greatly look forward to throwing it straight in the bin.
