544.0. "is it a scam!!" by STAR::MCCARTHY () Fri Feb 12 1988 11:55

    
    
    	There is a mail order bike store called Colorado Cyclist that
    advertizes in BICYCLING magazine. They have the Campy Chours group
    for $630 which is $100 cheaper than Nashbar. Has anyone ever purchased
    anything for this outfit?

544.1no, just a good dealCSCMA::BUSHFri Feb 12 1988 12:5312
    
    I just purchased a Dura-Ace group ($545 vs $620 at Nashbar) from them
    and asked about the Chorus group. They gave me the same price as
    they gave you but it was a bit out of my range. I received my group
    (somehow 'gruppo' seems more appropriate for Italian components) last
    week after about a 2-3 week wait. Also, you won't pay taxes at Colorado
    Cyclist. 
    
    Now where is that warm weather?

544.4Mail Order to P.O. boxes, low overhead, high vol, etc.,etc...MENTOR::REGFunction(al(ity(able(ness))))Wed Feb 17 1988 12:327
    
    	I have never dealt with them.  If its a scam it must be a pretty
    successful one, they've been running some of the best nationally
    advertised prices for ~5 years to my knowledge.
