Ordered a full suspension bike from bikes online. The order was delivered within 5days. Rear break rotor was bent right out of the box. Feelings of regret and disappointment came rushing over me, especially after trying to report the issue with their “customer service” - Bot. Could not true the rotor myself so I had to take it to a local bike shop. All of the bike shops in my area are booked out for several days if not week(s). :/ Now, I think going with a local dealer for purchase would have been a much better option. Had to schedule a phone call appointment with Bikesonline representative to see what they can do to help. If they do not want to help repair or replace the damaged part, I can try and return the bike. Spend the extra money, buy bikes from LBS, cause you might end up taking it there if you find yourself in a similar pair of shoes. I will return and post about the conversation with bikesonline sales rep to update how eager they were to assist correcting the situation.

return process is convoluted and frustrating. attempting to initiate a return leads customers into a maze of virtual bots and dead-end phone numbers. This unethical practice appears designed to deter returns and save the company money.

Rocky at first since the bike came in an open box with the tools all missing and some accessories. I also ordered some additional gear and accessories and they never shipped the shock pump so I had to go back and ask for them to ship it so it took a couple of weeks, which was unnecessary. As far as the bike is concerned it’s a freaking beast. It’s an amazing bike. Outside of the shipping issue and the delay everything else is fine. I would highly recommend the bike. It’s really amazing.

You'll see reviews about bikesonline that conflict with each other, so it's hard to get a feel for whether they're worth the risk. Here's my take. The product: Polygon Tambora G4 Gravel Bike The Good: Simple order process and fantastic speedy shipment and delivery. Excellent packing. It was meticulously packaged and was ready to go out of the box - minus the pedals. The quality of the Polygon bike is awesome. It's heavy, but in terms of fit and finish it's top notch. Unless you look at the brand of components, you'd swear it was a $2k bike. The paintjob alone is stunning. The welds at the BB and frame points look good and I can't find any flaws in the build. The bike is also innovative in that you can convert the wheelbase from gravel to road and change out tires to suit. The Bad: Most of the pictures showed the bike came with pedals so I assumed it did. A lot of higher end bikes, including race bikes don't include pedals, so I'm used to that. But the G4 isn't a high end bike. It's a budget gravel bike. Now pedals aren't a big deal in the grand scheme of things because they're inexpensive. But try riding a bike without them and you'll look like Fred Flintstone trying to walk your bike around. If I had known pedals weren't included I would have ordered them with the bike. Before I decided to grab a set of pedals from Amazon, I decided to make a call to bikesonline. That's where the frustration started. A call to their customer service line gets you an AI computer voice that takes you name, order #, email and phone #. That took 5 minutes because the AI voice kept messing up. I then went to the email ack of the order I had saved and replied to that, indicating that no pedals were included. I got a prompt reply from Bob that depending on the model, pedals aren't included. I replied back that the ad should have stated that given most of the pictures of the bike on the site showed the bike with pedals. I attached pics from their site for his review. I never got a reply, and I'm not going to call again to get another AI computer that will take my information and ignore me. Overall, my impression is that their service is non-existent, which is a shame because the Polygon brand is a good bike. One final thing. I posted a review of my experience on their site, and it was never posted. That explains why there are zero reviews for the bike. Their site also claims that they have the "highest rated bikes online" with "25000+ google reviews". If anybody can find such reviews, they're more of a google data miner than I am. My advice to Polygon is to find another distributor. Their brand is worth more than bikesonline. Your experiences may vary. I've seen other people say that they wish they had purchased from their LBS, but my local shop has about the same level of service as bikesonline. Maybe this is the new normal.

Good value and customer service. Bike arrived as listed on my shipping confirmation. Only issue was a shifting problem, received a quick response, that was resolved at my lbs and was reimbursed by Bikes Online. Would be 4.5 stars if that was an option.

Great shop. They sold me really great bike (sup 919), enjoying every time I ride it. Any questions were resolved quickly and very convenient way for me. thank you and will be a pleasure for me to keep shopping here.

Ordered a dropper Post from Bikesonline.com on June 11, 2024 and got my order confirmed and a few hours later and a shipping label was created with a valid USPS tracking number. That sounded like I was off to a good start. On Friday I called to confirm what carrier did my tracking number come from, UPS, FEDEX, USPS or something else? I called on Friday, June 14, 2024 to ask about the delivery carrier that the tracking number belonged to. I spoke with a questionable "BOT" that sounded like a woman pretending to be a ROBOT. Anyway I played along and asked my questions following her prompts. Come 6 days later and check online and the information from the USPS website tracking still says: "Pre-Shipment Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item LONG BEACH, CA 90810 June 11, 2024, 3:17 pm" Called the phone number a second time on Monday, June 17, 2024 only to get a UK ringtone then that same woman answering pretending to be a bot. She is not. She is 100% human pretending with a fake robotic voice. It's really bad acting. I mean she is really bad at it. She stutters and catches her speaking mistakes trying to correct them but by the time she realizes she got caught immediately asks another question to divert and mislead. This is a big RED FLAG in understanding that I probably have been scammed by a this online "business". I will give it until the end of the day until I contact my credit card company to dispute the charges. So far from what I can see this so called "business" hides behind doing the pre-motions of selling you a product but doesn't deliver it and makes claims of lost packages in transit (as I read from other reivews and people's experiences). There's a lot of these reveiws on Reddit and Trustpilot but the funny thing is you can't seem to find any google reviews about this company. That seems to be their M.O. and if you try to cancel your order they or the company begins a campaign of stalling you with emailed customer service tickets that are amatuer. Nothing happens. This is the scam because they already got my money. They retaliate to customer complaints (not mine yet) with threats of charges, fees to restock items to wear you down on products they don't have. You can't do anything but hope you come out of this with your dignity in tact and hopefully money recovery.

The customer service is absolutely terrible and if you thought you’ve experienced really scumming automated answering machines this one will truly blow your mind. Terrible warranty claims as well means you better off spending a bit more to get quality at every turn
