Title: Bikebandit is no more
Post by: Chaos on June 02, 2022, 03:01:45 PM
Used them lots with good service but no more.  Web site was still up but everything I clicked on was out of stock.  https://jalopnik.com/motorcycle-parts-seller-bikebandit-has-stolen-646-000-1848823954

I couldn't see trusting an outfit with bandit in its name, and now they've lived up to it, apparently.  :laughing4-giggles:

Despite all of this the site is still up:
https://www.bikebandit.com/

Shouldn't the trustee do something about this?  At least put up a home page indicating they're out of business or get the host to kill the site.

I hope most people who got screwed will be covered by loss protection from their credit card company.

Haha I tried to buy tires, figuring if the deal went south I'd claim no product to Amex. . . but "on backorder" so no tires at all, but spared the hassle with the credit card company

I've only tried Bikebandit a couple of times in the past, wasn't impressed either time. I figured they'd just go the way of the Dodo based on my experiences with them if they were like that across the board.

i have used Bike Bandit many times in the past, primarily for tires.  Prices were always good, date codes indicated current production and not old tires.  I was happy dealing with them.  Bought my latest tires from Chaparral as they had the size I needed for my brick in stock.

I used them frequently in the past and never had an issue.
