    Yeah I think it was the lack of accountability about the problem more than anything. But I learned my lesson - next time, ask in advance if they have it in stock before I let my money go out into the ether.

    Hello! Originally from NYC and now in north London...joining in to learn more about fixies. Don't really have room in the flat for a 3rd bike, but maybe I'll be convinced to swap my MTB for a SS. Would do wonders for my commuting time! Plus, they're pretty.

    Nemesis is the Catlike distributor for the UK, and have a list of retailers here: http://www.nemesisactive.com/active/dealers.aspx

    I ended up buying a hard-to-find helmet from them directly, and they didn't charge shipping!

    I felt compelled to join the forum to give a small rant about this dealer. I ordered a helmet from them last week and the money was deducted from my account within seconds. They emailed the next day to say they didn't have the helmet, so I asked for a refund. They said it would take 2-3 working days to hit my account, but it ended up taking 5 (a week from the day I placed the order). That's a long time to be out £120 for an item that they never had, as well as a hassle to to find out from them what the problem was. In the end, they blamed it on my bank.

    There's a reason there's no phone number on the website - they suck and don't want to be bothered about it. I reasonably suggested that they send me an equal-value helmet while I waited for my refund, and I would post it back 2-3 days after the money hit my account. Strangely, they didn't take me up on that offer. Avoid at all costs.
