I haven't had any luck there. My experience with incorrect parts and back orders leads me elsewhere.

I'll see how it goes. Not holding my breath. I buy what I can on eBay when it makes sense. But some of the things I needed, like the teflon rings inside the forks, while available on eBay, came with ridiculously high shipping costs, And the wrong description, so I couldn't be very sure I was getting the right thing.

Shipping costs on eBay is ridiculous and treated as a profit centre instead of cost recovery. I often email and ask for reduced shipping and several times folks have agreed. But really eBay should its own shipping model where the actual cost of shipping is billed separately to the buyer.

Original order placed 1/29, everything finally here 2/22. 2 backorders parts (not their fault), 2 missing parts (their fault), 2 phone calls to get everything straightened out.
One very nice email from the owner: I'll probably give them another chance at least to use the promo code.
