I will never buy;
Avid brakes; total total shyte, pain to bleed plasticky feel (love my Hopes though).
SRAM; PITA to set up and shifts when it feels like it. I think this is personal preference though.
Trek; trying to eliminate online sales (and savings for us).
A bike with specialized in house shocks (how many replacements?)
I will never buy from;
SSC; the blokes a nobend.
Dave Hinde; see above.
I will happily buy;
Anything from Hope, CS and fully servicable.
Turner; warranty is excellent (follows bike)
Intense; Pure quality
