If I was you looking to buy any form of light bike or components I would strongly advise not dealing with posh bikes or with any thing they distribute! If you have a problem, they, with there amazing customer services, will do absolutely nothing for you and blame what ever is wrong with your bike on you! Please I beg anyone who wants a light bike to look else where at other quality products with a company that does want to take your cash and run! I have a couple of friends with Storcks and they too have experienced unsavoury after sales service from posh bikes as well! Let this be a warning to you, I do not want to have to say I told you so!

I have a sneaking suspicion that you'd love to.

Come on then, I have two hours to kill.... Why should I avoid Posh bikes?

Indeed, lots of us would like to know the story behind such a strong view. What happened, what did they do to you?

i have to strongly diss-agree!
Firstly - Storcks. Stunning bikes, end off. I have had mine 5 years and it really does not look out of place with the 'latest' carbon offerings, and i would say still rides better than most. ( i have an up to date colnago as well)Posh bikes - Small family business. They work on a very personal level and have given very good service/advice to me over the phone or face to face. You do ,like many LBS type owners, have to learn about them and how to get the best from them, but they are good people and work damned hard!
Merry Xmas.

I bought some tune bar ends a few years ago that cracked at the clamp. Refused warranty as they said the bars must have been undersized causing the crack. Unlikely given they were Easton carbons, but even so they can't expect you to go around measuring them with digital callipers to check (oh no, hold on, yes they can) and surely a product needs to be designed with some tolerance? As OP said, they just blamed me for the failure of the crap they distribute. I had a Tune stem crack too - thankfully that went back to Zyro and was refunded. Tune = crap!

Hustler,
None at all!
I just have had no bad experiences with them and wanted to balance the conversation.
Mostly i don't post because i keep losing my password / too much to do, but it's slowing down for Xmas and we had some nice pop for lunch followed by a quick 20miles on the rd bike, so i guess i am just relaxed and interested in taking part!

Any company who proudly exclaims;
Our customers are world-renowned professional athletes, celebrities, as well as discerning businessmen & women.
Are asshats and would never enjoy the pleasure of my custom.
Velo refined also represent all that is wrong with the cycle industry.Posted 5 months ago # -
my tune road BB axle sheared and they refused to warranty it as I had taken it out of the bike before they could inspect it... tune = crap, poshbikes = crapper

Mmmm, I'd not rush to use Tune stuff again - my Kong Superscharf hub was pretty crap, fell apart far too often for my liking, and wasn't user serviceable! Skewers were alright though!

I would go even further, and say any website that still has a splash page, should be taken outside and shot.
...possibly by a Mr J Clarkson, and possibly with family members in the vicinity.

the velo refined logo looks like it's been jizzed on by a smurf

Well I don't know what a splash page is but I find myself nodding furiously in agreement.

Might it have been better in the, you know, erm, bike forum then?

Posh bikes have been a bit of a nuicance to me too, took 3 months+ to change the freewheel on a Tune hub. Not sure how hard it is to get parts but a certain Belgian shop has loads in stock... Getting a reply to emails/phone calls can be problematic too.
Storks look nice, would love one of their road bikes, but should I be in a position to afford one then it will come from elswhere.
