I had this with another German bike retailer. Quite happy that my bank is so vigilant really. A quick phone call and everything was sorted. I'd rather that than they miss a fraudulent transaction!

No problems for me, in fact quite the opposite - in stock, cheap(er) than UK, branded good, good delivery and packing. Not sure what else to add....oh, in Germany they are mahoooooosive (aka CRC)

I had similar problems with my first order with bike-discount.de good to see the banks do look out for these things

Just a word of warning. Are you sure it is your bank/paypal that is calling? I am sure you know but never disclose any pins or card check codes over the phone.

Not had an issue yet with orders on Rose bikes myself.
