Default price point

I searched and didn't come up with much.

I've been surfing their site and the prices are ridiculously low.. i.e. huge discounts!

Just want to know if they are legit and if people have had positive results ordering through them.

Thanks for any input.

they are very legit...they're like costco...in a sense if you know what you want and dont need help go to them. I buy some of their house brand stuff like arm/leg warmers other stuff my LBS (which is good to support) will/often times price match

PricePoint is my preferred online shopping site for my bikes. It's the first place I look. They are located so close (Gardena), I ALWAYS get my stuff within 2 days--more often than not the next day (depending on what time I get the order in).

I have spent hundreds, possibly thousands, there. Never had a bad experience.

Very good on delivery and pricing. I've had over 10 transactions and never a complaint.

Well one, they keep sending me emails of stuff to good to pass on.

Good selection and very reasonable. Quick shipping too. Also try Jenson, wheel world and greenfish.

Yeah, I've got some Sette stuff--gloves and tools, as well as some small parts for when I want something cheap to try out. Most of the stuff I've tried is at least pretty good for the price, and some of it is even better than that. I got a pair of their 3/4 finger gloves that fit really well. They don't seem to be super durable but they weren't expensive, so I'll use them until they wear out and buy a brand new pair for not much money!

The only thing is that danged tax and shipping, which just means that I need to put in a bigger order every time so that I can make the deal good enough.

I haven't yet, but I've got plenty of those little stickers they send you for free with each order. My fear is that Sette is like a moped... Fun to ride, but you don't want your friends to see you one one.

Hmmm.... Maybe I should put the Sette stickers on my moped?

Oh yeah: +1 on PricePoint being legit and having good service. I've spent tens of dollars there and been quite satisfied.

Damn you and your logic...and math.


Despite my hyperbole, they're still a damn good one-stop-online shop!
