    Should I order from Beyondbikes/Airbomb

    Beyond Bikes owns Airbomb and now we know Cambria has purchased Beyond Bikes.

    Airbomb has some fork parts that I need. Is it safe to order from them now or should I stay clear?

    The parts are showing as in stock and I want them to ship soon once they open after the weekend.

    I never bought from AirBomb or CBO as they have nothing I need.
    Deal with Beyondbikes many times and they seems ok, not my favor shop but pretty good.

    Cambria has been *alright* but not spectacular for me. Beyond bikes sorta blows but who knows what things are like now that they're owned by CBO.

    I decided to go with Bikeman instead. Too many bad reports about BB. Even with the Cambria buy-out, there's probably lots of garbage that needs to be taken care of before the new BB becoming reliable.

    Yup...They need to clean house before things will get any better. And even then, Cambria is only alright, so I don't know how much better it'll get. Although Cambria's customer service is lightyears ahead of Beyond Bikes/Airbomb.

    It took me three friggin' weeks to get my Topeak Prepstand Max from Airbomb, and that was only because I called and actually got a hold of someone my fourth try, then threatened to get my (fictional) lawyer brother involved. That finally lit the fire under their asses.

    Bikeman was a good choice. I've ordered twice through them, and thought they were great.
    Well, since they gave us a KHS forum, I guess I have to come up with something else for a sig.

    +1, I had prompt response from their customer service.

    Haven't gotten my stuff yet but bikeman was easy to deal with. Did the online chat thing and they pricematched every item I ordered. Shipping with USPS was very cheap too and should take 2 to 3 days to get here from Maine.

    Sounds better than some shops. Good deal!

    Its true...but if your order was smooth, you don't need to contact their CS. If you have problems, good luck, I don't like their CS either.
