Horrible experience buying a $12k bike…
Horrible experience buying a $12k bike from Competitive Cyclist.
First the bike was shipped 5 days late, then before it shipped I asked the supervisor to go line by line confirming each item only to learn that they had installed the wrong stem, which delayed the shipment even more. Then when the bike arrived, the rear brakes didn't work which totally conflicted with the "quality checklist" they shipped with the bike. After all of the problems, and having to pay Velofix $279 to repair the brakes, they refused to pay for the repair and instead told me to either pack and return the bike "or the matter closed."
Also, their "gearhead" staff are sketchy and constantly try to sell you things you don't want.
They're "customer service" and quality are horrible. Don't buy a bike from Competitive Cyclist.
I arranged to send back the item that proved to be too small. It is the size I usually use, but not being stretchable, it would probably tear.
I arranged to send back the item that was too small, and got a replacement item that is more expensive, but was discounted.
Brett was great!
Brett was great!! I had an issue with an order through PayPal and he was going to refund the $. But he kept digging and found the order. Great customer service, and I got to chat with a real, live human!!
Great help for this purchase
Great help for this purchase, also super friendly and was very knowledgeable on these continental ties ! Thanks again and can’t wait to receive before race day
Thank you Tamara!
First interaction, with a completely different rep was terrible. The person said "they could" discount the item of question, but didn't. Chat found a different rep. Tamara was awesome and quickly found a solution to the price match/question and saved the sale, as I was about to buy from a different retailer. Tamara was professional and went above and beyond what I expected. And I've been in bicycle retail management for over 15 years, and over 20 years in customer service management. Thank you Tamara!

Tamara =Amazing
Well, Tamara has been unbelievable to work with! Honestly, because of the experience, I don't even wanna try to shop somewhere else I value the customer service and attention detail
I am enjoying my Gearhead experience.
I enjoy the excellent customer service provided by Tamara Stone, my Gearhead at Competitive Cyclist. She is quick to reply, has all the answers and is very pleasant to work with.
Thanks,
Rick

Tamara was super enthusiastic to help me with my wife’s order. She explained the situation and told me how it was resolved. I was bummed that my order was so delayed, but she made me feel better.
Spoke with a live agent in seconds
It was so nice to call and speak with a live representative in seconds. Tamara S. exceeds expectations. She is efficient and very knowledgeable about the product line. I was able to ask all my questions and order a Burley bike trailer in 5 minutes. She explained everything very well and made me feel like a valued customer. It was a pleasure working with her and Backcountry. Thank you very much.
Brian Sloan is a must have Gearhead
Brian Sloan is a truly outstanding gearhead. I came to him wanting to build a bike with very specific needs and sizing. I didn't want to buy a stock bike where I would have to replace a bunch of parts just to get it to fit me. His knowledge and expertise on bikes, components, and specs took a complex process and streamlined it. Brian stayed with me through the entire build and the end result was a beautiful bike that is exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend him.
Great Sales Rep
Sales rep Tamara S. was fabulous! We talked on the phone for almost an hour. I just wish the actual products had more reviews on them from real people.
