"elevate Cycles" on the Bay?

I have a friend who is interested in a frame they have listed. They have a huge number of "other items"–over 2,200. Location is listed as Santa Ana, CA. Any Paceliners have dealings with them? Results?

Seems like a reliable eBay store, but I want to check anyway. Due diligence and all that . . .

I have bought from them before, they seem to part a lot of hi end bikes.

If you want to save a few bucks go to their site direct and not eBay.

Cheers

I recently bought a set of DT Swiss wheels from them. R460 rims with DT350 hubs, 20/24 spokes, rim brake. The wheels weren't quite as true as was implied, but they were in very good condition and a few minutes with the spoke wrench improved them to a satisfactory end point. Communications were good, packing was too, and they cost me $295 shipped, which was a better price than anything I'd seen on eBay or here on Paceline for equivalent quality wheels. I'd definitely buy from them again.

Same, use their site and not the ebay store. I've purchased components a couple of times, no issues.

+1 elevate

Needed a set of wheels ASAP for a trip I was making and required these to be shipped to my in-laws in CA. They arrived in 2 days, in great condition (straight, true…these were used wheels). No problems at all. I also scraped together a bunch of odds and ends for another project I am working on - and like others, I bought directly from their site. I will do so again.

I have purchased some components from them. They take good pictures and highlight defects appropriately. I find the pictures much more informative than the item description, meaning that the description may sound a bit generic sometimes for smaller components, but their pictures are very good showing the condition. No complaints on my end, they shipped fast, condition as picures and well packed
