Is Bikes Direct a good place to purchase bicycles?

in my opinion "never again" enuff said

Looking to spend
My good old (stolen) Fuji Thrill was $169 out the door at Performance brick and mortar at the turn of the century. I put at least 40k miles on that bike. Man I miss that bike.

Right now I am browsing BikesDirect and considering this

This should serve my needs just fine.

Any other alternative suggestions appreciated
Must have freehub, because old freewheel style is a ticking timebomb, they always fail quickly in my experience.

Are there any bike shops close to you? If so sometimes people will trade in or up as they gain experience. Sometimes high end stuff comes through the door with little wear for a good price.
