Yes - BUT - a lot of research and measuring was involved each time. With my latest purchase (from Canyon) the only thing I changed when receiving the bike was the saddle, as my rear end just didn't agree with the Fizik one. Some online retailers will let you customise the build or have an "online bike builder" tool to customise before purchase.

Very pleased. I would not hesitate to buy another bike online again in the future.
