As marketing director for Lamborghini’s Jacksonville division, Gregory Leb had regular brushes with V.I.P.s. Reba McEntire once bought a car from Gregory Leb, as did Donald Trump in 1997. But one of the most impressionable moments as marketing director was his dealings with Nicolas Cage, delivering cars to him during Gregory Leb’s time as marketing director. Cage is a big collector of Lamborghinis.

Another highlight of Gregory Leb’s career with Lamborghini was a deal with Universal for eight TV shows with the Diablo Roadster. The Lamborghini Diablo was a high-performance sportscar built by Lamborghini in the 90s. Known as the first Lamborghini able to exceed speeds of 200 miles per hour, it was replaced in 2001 by the Lamborghini Murciélago.

At the time Gregory Leb was working with Lamborghini, the Diablo Roadster was generating quite a bit of buzz among mainstream media. Debuting in 1995, the Roadster had a carbon fiber top that retracted into the engine lid when it wasn’t being used. The Roadster was only in production until 1998.

When Lamborghini was bought out by Volkswagon, Gregory Leb took a position as a freelance marketing coordinator for Walt Disney World in Orlando. But Gregory Leb’s love for automobiles continues, and he travels around the country in his vintage Porsche, racing along with other Porsche aficionados in Historic Racing Society (HRS) races. Gregory Leb also collects Ferraris and is a member of both the Porsche Club and the Ferrari Owners Club.

In May, 2004 Jeff and Roshie Weightman opened the first Tire Works store in North Las Vegas, Nevada. The Weightman’s vision and ambition for Tire Works was clear. Their mission was to support the local community through hands-on involvement and generous donations from Tire Works to programs like Toys For Tots, Christmas Angel, Coats For Kids, Nevada Rape Crisis Center and many more.

Jeff and Roshie Weightman promised that Tire Works would offer the best prices and best service to Las Vegas residents. Tire Works got the message out through television, radio and print advertising, and the public responded. Over the next four years Tire Works grew aggressively as 12 additional stores were opened in the Las Vegas Valley. Today Tire Works is one of the leading independent tire and service dealers in Nevada with more than 150 employees and 14 Tire Works locations throughout the Las Vegas Valley.  The Weightmans are opening 9 more Tire Works stores in Las Vegas, with plans to expand Tire Works into Arizona.

Like the employees of Bikes Direct, Bike Island staffers genuinely love cycling and hope that this love is reflected in the way that they do business. Believing that cycling should be accessible to all, Bike Island offers the same level of superior savings on parts that Bikes Direct offers to its customers on bikes. With an inventory ranging from jerseys to saddles, and bottom brackets to work stands, Bike Island has any kind of part or accessory a cyclist might need. Bike Island also offers a pain-free return and exchange process.

In addition to their main website, Bike Island also has a great, established Ebay store with loyal customers, and when Bikes Direct approached them to list some scratch and dent bikes Bike Island was eager to offer these killer deals. Bikes Direct points out that although these bikes are considered scratch and dent, they are still in phenomenal riding condition and only suffer from a few cosmetic blemishes. Bikes Direct staffers hope that this partnership with Bike Island provides an opportunity for these just slightly-less-than-perfect bikes to find a home. Although a pristine bike is great, most Bikes Direct staffers feel—and Bike Island employees agree—that a bike doesn’t truly become a rider’s “own” until it bears a few scars, and it is the opinion of Bikes Direct staffers that these scratches give a bike history.

Like policies already in place on Bikes Direct and Bike Island, the Bike Island Ebay site encourages its customers to communicate any questions with Bike Island staffers. It promises to get bikes shipped out quickly, and it offers a hassle-fee returns process in case the bike is too large, too small, or simply not what the customer had in mind. The Bike Island Ebay site also features a great FAQ section that should calm any fears that potential buyers may have. Bikes Direct and Bike Island have listed some of Bikes Direct’s most popular models, including the Windsor Hour, the Motobecane Immortal Pro, and the Mercer Corvus AL, at prices up to $200 less than they currently sell for on Bikes Direct. Bikes Direct and Bike Island look forward to a successful partnership and hope that their respective customers will be as pleased with the deals provided as the two companies are.

Bikes Direct encourages current customers to take advantage of these outrageous offers. Since this partnership is a new venture for Bikes Direct, Bikes Direct is soliciting customer feedback about their purchase experience on the Bike Island Ebay site. Bikes Direct contact information can found at http://www.bikesdirect.com/contact.htm, and a Bikes Direct employee will respond to any email within 24 business hours.

About Bikes Direct

Bikes Direct continues to provide the same excellent cycling experience that riders around the world have come to expect from Motobecane. As a beginning, Bikes Direct can offer this brief history; Motobecane has been making bikes since 1923 and was named after the French word Moto for motorcycle and Becane for bike. Things went well for the company until 1981 when they were bankrupt and bought by Yamaha and became MBK. Now Motobecane USA is not related to the French company as they import bikes from Taiwan and China, these are the bikes you are interested in. Bikes Direct offers these Bikes Direct to the public at competitive price points and excellent quality.

According to Bikes Direct, Motobécane was a major manufacturer in the French bicycle industry. The frames on Motobécane’s mid-to-upper bikes were typically double-butted lugged steel made from Vitus or Reynolds 531 molybdenum/manganese steel tubing with Nervex lugs. Motobécane finished their frames in beautiful and high-quality paint, a practice not often followed in the French industry. Considered the second most prestigious French bicycle (after Peugeot, whose more durable design they emulated, but ahead of Gitane), Bikes Direct remembers Motobécane’s mid-range bikes as a good value; the company kept prices reasonable by matching high-quality frames with lower-priced, but higher-quality components from Japan, at a time when competitors were putting higher-priced, lower quality French components on mid-range bikes. Bikes Direct says that Motobécane bicycles included the Nomade, Mirage, Super Mirage, Super Touring, Grand Touring, Sprint, Jubilee, Grand Record, Le Champion, and Team Champion.

Bikes Direct now offers Motobecane models that use carbon on two of their ranges of bikes, the Race Carbon/AL and the Full Carbon ranges. From the Race Carbon they produce the Century Comp, Elite, Pro and Team and from the Full Carbon they have the Immortal Pro, Force and Spirit.

Race Carbon/AL from Bikes Direct

Bikes Direct says the Race Carbon /AL frames are a mixture of Alloy main frame tubes and carbon rear seat stays. The frames use different Alloy for the tubes on each of the frames and different equipment to assemble the bikes.
The Century Comp has Columbus Airplane tubes and Shimano 105 Triple group set.

The Century Elite has Shimano Ultegra Triple kit and the frame is made from 7005 double butted and carbon stays. Shimano Ultegra 30 speed and Kinesium SL and Carbon are used for the Century Pro.

Bikes Direct offers the top class Shimano Dura-Ace, and carbon FSA Cranks are used for the Century Team with Kineses 7005 AL main tubes and carbon stays. All have carbon forks.

The Full Carbon

Shimano Utegra mixed with 105 and FSA is fitted to the Immortal Pro high modulus carbon fiber monocoque frameset along with carbon forks American Classic wheels.

Bikes Direct knows the Immortal Force is very similar to the Pro except it is all Shimano Ultegra; all the other equipment and the frame is the same.

The Immortal Spirit Dura-Ace, FSA, American Classic wheels and Ritchey are all fitted to a monocoque carbon frame keeping the weight down to 16 pounds.

Bikes Direct makes sure that all the equipment is top class and you can’t fault any choice there. Looking at the Geometries of the frames there is beauty and they handle well.

In addition to the standard diamond frame bicycles, Motobécane produced mixte frame versions; the mixte frame Grand Touring had twin lateral stays in place of a top tube, extending from the head tube to the seat tube, while the Super Touring and Grand Jubilé had a single top tube sloping down towards the seat tube, but diverging into twin lateral stays just before the seat tube. Later mixte Grand Touring models also used this design. Motobécane also produced a tandem bicycle.

Bikes Direct says vintage French bicycles, including Motobécane, are often sought today for their value as a fixed gear conversion.

If a rider is not sure of the bike size to order from Bikes Direct, using the customer’s inseam measurement can help make that determination. If you fall between bike sizes, Bikes Direct sales staff says personal preference will make the final choice: if you take the smaller biker, you’ll have lower handlebars, which means more agile handling. If you order the larger size bike from Bikes Direct, you’ll get higher handlebars but less straddle room.

People who have never ordered bikes from an online provider like Bikes Direct often rely on the opinions of those who have, before taking the plunge themselves. It might help to read, for example, that one satisfied Bikes Direct customer in Chicago (who purchased a Motobecane Vent Noir) said that his “bike came quickly and was very well packaged. There was no damage whatsoever even though the box took a beating”. He went on to say that he would endorse Bikes Direct and the Bikes Direct experience completely.

Another happy biker contacted Bikes Direct to confirm receipt of his Motobecane bike (he bought the “Le Champion” model). He said that “it was well packed and well protected and arrived in perfect condition.” Yet another customer thanked Bikes Direct “for putting up with a paranoid e-mail shopper” and added that his Bikes Direct “bike came out of the box in great order and was easy to put together.”

Still another customer confirmed that Bikes Direct “shipping was fast” and went on to mention “above all the Bikes Direct courteous and personal touch in responding to email-messages (on time). Bikes Direct is as close as an Internet bike shop can be to a real bike shop.”

Satisfied Customers from Bikes Direct:

Dear Bikes Direct,
Remember, I got a Motobecane 500DS mountain bike [from Bikes Direct] two weeks ago? I just wanted to notify Bikes Direct, that I am completely satisfied with the bike! It’s a great riding experience! Probably the best I ever had on a bike. In addition, the retired owner of a bike store here in Baltimore asked me about the price of the bike, he suggested $1500!

Thanks again.
Daniel

Bikes Direct,

Just wanted to tell you that I got my 500 DS [from Bikes Direct] just over a week ago and I am enjoying trail riding on it. By the way, assembly was very easy.

Thanks,
Lynn (Lake Charles, LA)

Before e-Estimates, Collex Collision Experts customers would call in, describe the year, make and model of the car in question, try to explain the extent of the damages, and then ask for an estimate. Without fail, such a phone call to Collex Collision Experts would end in a request to bring the car into the shop for an in-person estimate. But the question remained; can an estimate be assessed without a visit to a Collex Collision Experts facility?

With e-Estimates, Collex Collision Experts customers can now get an estimate on their vehicle without coming into the shop. From the Collex Collision Experts website, customers can click on the e-Estimates logo to begin their online estimate process. A Collex Collision Experts e-Estimate takes just three simple steps. First, the customer must take up to 5 digital photos of the damage in question. Second, the customer fills out the online from at the Collex Collision Experts Website. Lastly, the customer is asked to attach the photos to the form and email it to Collex Collision Experts.

Within 24 hours, Collex Collision Experts will contact the customer to give an estimate. Of course, an e-Estimate from Collex Collision Experts is like any other estimate; informational and non-binding. While much more helpful than a traditional estimate given over the telephone, online estimates from Collex Collision Experts are general, ballpark figures that give customers a sense of what repairs will cost.

When a car accident occurs, Collex Collision says to check passengers for injuries. If anyone is hurt, call 911. At the same time, instructs Collex Collision, have another driver get on the phone with the police. If you know the number of the local police department, Collex Collision suggests calling them directly rather than being routed through 911. Report an accident and request police presence. If there are any injuries, adds Collex Collision, tell the police you also need medical assistance and they will dispatch an ambulance. Collex Collision points out that sometimes this method can be faster than calling 911.

After getting off the phone with the authorities, continues Collex Collision, get essential information from the other drivers involved in the accident. Exchange insurance information, phone numbers, addresses, and license plate numbers. Collex Collision explains that having this information on hand is very important for the insurance claim calls that needs to be made next. Collex Collision strongly discourages any unnecessary conversation with other motorists. Be sure not to admit or assess fault, advises Collex Collision, even if it feels like the fault is obvious. Leave that to the insurance companies.

Wait for the police to arrive. A police officer, explains Collex Collision, will survey the scene of the accident and draw up a detailed report. This report will be a major piece of evidence and information for the insurance representatives as they try to assess fault during the insurance claim process, concludes Collex Collision.

For more information about Collex Collision, call 888-426-5539 or visit them on the web at http://collex.com.
