    They seem to offer quite a bit of information and flexibility on their Mountain Bike builds, including weights.

    Right now, they're more an information source (yet another one) before I purchase as I'd rather buy from an LBS, but if the LBS that has what I end up wanting is more than an hour's drive away, I'd consider these guys.

    Any opinions? Roadies can weigh in too...since most of my current miles are on-road.

    Thanks.

    I bought a frame from them about 4 yrs ago, very good customer service. The frame was missing the cable stop for the front del and they took care of it with a smile.

    I ordered a King BB from them. This was when the CK BB was pretty new and semi-scarce. They had it in stock and shipped it out promptly.

    Thumbs up for Competitive Cyclist - perhaps not the least expensive option, but they offer great product write-ups and reviews, and great customer service.

    I agree with all of the above. I bought a frame, headset, fork and a wheelset from them. They gave me a good price and great customer service. After that when I wanted a particular componant they readily gave me their "build price" which is less than published.
