  1. "Outlaw Bicycles" is aptly named.

    In February I bought an Axial Pro tire from Rich at Outlaw
    Bicycles via rec.bicycles.marketplace. They never sent the
    tire, but cashed my check promptly enough. All my follow-up
    E-mails have gone unanswered.

    Caveat emptor.

    car repairs done at Fly by Nite garage?

    People in Rhode Island would. See also Hazard's Auto Body
    and Crook's Garage: yellowpages.superpages.comlisti
    ngs.jsp?&N=hazard%20auto%20body&T=&S=RI yellowpages.-yellowpages.-
    superpages.com/listings.jsp?&N=crook%20garage&T=&S=RI

    Both places continue to exist, so one can assume they get
    enough customers to stay in business.

    I purchased a Campy Record front hub w/skewer from Outlaw
    Bicycles. The only problem is the skewer Campy Chorus. Rich
    e-mailed me saying he was sorry and agreed to sell me a set
    of cleat at his cost. Then he stopped responding to any of
    my e-mails. Yes, Outlaw Bicycles is aptly named. And Rich
    is a flake.

    And, apparently, sometimes they are telling the truth rather
    than being tongue-in-cheek, eh?

    To be fair to them, I have never dealt with either of them,
    nor do I know anybody who has, so I have no idea if they're
    good or if they're any sort of problem. They're probably as
    good as their competitors.
