    Had a Couple of sets of forks off them over last couple of years, cracking price in the sales and faultless regarding delivery.

    They were my 2nd closest LBS for a while and they were great. Shame they closed when Esher Shore got killed off.

    Cool, that sounds promising – I’m very tempted by their Fox fork deals.

    Head absolutely spinning trying to choose a fork – I’m down to four – Lyrik Dual position, Marzocchi 55 Micro Switch TA, 36 TALAS or BOS Deville.

    I went to the Horsham shop to try on a Giro feature helmet.
    The fit was fine, but they didn’t have the colour I wanted, so they ordered one for me and delivered it to my office.

    Very friendly guys, who love riding bikes too.

    Another +1 here, top guys gave me lots of help when I was building my first wheel, can’t comment on mail order though!

    My LBS, bought loads of bikes and stuff off them over the years and they are super friendly guys who also know their stuff. Very reliable.

    I live in France and bought an Ellsworth frame from them.
    I would strongly recommend them.

    Honourablegeorge, if you go for the deville’s then expect a delay, r53 the distributor are taking a fair old while to get forks out at the moment. Been waiting a few weeks myself. Was hoping to have them before easter 🙁

    Top notch customer service. Had warranty issues that were sorted no questions asked. Also one of the cheapest around.

    I thought I’d resurrect this thread from the dead…

    I called Freeborn this morning hunting for a pair of X-Fusion velvets. They didn’t have any in stock but the help I was offered on the phone was top notch, and there was a great degree of riding knowledge shown. Wish I’d been able to buy from them!

    This isn’t helping my “deffinately don’t buy a Devinci Wilson Carbon frame” standpoint very much…………. 😉

    Years ago I bought a Thompson seatpost, had it delivered to the office, where (due to the way the packaging wrapped round it) everyone was curious to know what the 15-inch long knob-headed shaft was that I’d bought from a company called “Freeporn”

    bought some rs pikes from them a few years back, stunningly good price and proper retail with shock pump etc, not it arrives and its unboxed grey stuff, and/or has plainly been on a complete as some online shops i could name.

    also, when i had a prob just out of warranty they sorted it no problems.

    Always been great for me- I tend to only use them for total pain-in-the-bum parts that everyone else struggles with and they deliver them faster than most shops can manage run-of-the-mill boring stuff.

    Mail-ordered some Kinesis carbon bars recently, they turned up just as promised, very well packaged.
