Any experience with bikehighway.com / bikemania.biz?
Hi, I'm pretty new here so I'm not sure if I searched adequately for this question in earlier threads, but I couldn't find any previous posts about this online bike store and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with it. I also couldn't find any reviews on other sites. I'm curious because they have a sale on some rims that I've been looking to buy and it's a pretty good deal.
The URL is https://www.bikehighway.com and I think the same store is also at https://www.bikemania.biz
The site seems legitimate, but in the "about us"section it says that it used to be known as "Uncle Barn's Bike Highway" and I couldn't find any info on that either. They have a blog but it's pretty sparse.
Thanks!

Bikemania has been around for a long time. Looks like they became notoriously awful a few years ago: https://www.bikeforums.net/road-cycl...biz-legit.html
Go to the last several posts in that thread and you find universal regret for dealing with them.
This is consistent with their google reviews which indicate that they don't fix their screwed up orders.
Stay away.

They're definitely the same store, btw, same contact number.

It's funny how several people in the thread are tempted to get burned by bikemania multiple times b/c of the hope of saving $20. That's exactly why I was tempted!
But I will take your advice and the experience of those people and avoid it! Thanks!
