Yes German websites do seem to expect a modicum of intellect on the part of the user
How helps you then.

I've mentioned this several times before, but I'm consistently getting free delivery for some reason. Does nobody else?

My first order, I got what I appeared to be a cereal bowl. Actually I use it for bike bits...somehow I guess it was really intended for that. I never knew I needed one

I've bought lots of stuff from them and find them very good. Especially their after sales service. On one occasion they even phoned me uninvited to sort something out. The only problem I've ever had with them is they use ridiculously big boxes for small items: This is how they came!!
Sorry for not mentioning this other thread before but there's already a thread in the Reviews Section where people can list their experiences of rose: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=72013&start=30
If you haven't seen this thread then note that it can be cheaper shopping in Euro rather than £ on the RoseBikes site (change the dropdown choice at top right of the RoseBike page) if you have the right credit card with a 0% Visa currency conversion fee.
