The thing on selling full assembled bikes .. the lawyers think that self assembled things provide more opportunity for litigation. Think Ikea goes against that idea...

I think furniture has less of a risk factor for injuring someone if assembled incorrectly. I guess you could potentially get a serious injury if a chair collapsed while sitting in it or a table collapsed when it had hot food or beveridges on it but less likely than speeding down a hill at 60km/h + and the front fork or handlebar stem falls out

https://snowsport.com.au/collections/po ... 7486113029

They also have the full range of colours available too.

Just a reminder that the Aldi bike specials are on today :

$349 Hardtail which actually looks improved on last years model (now 29er)
$39.95 repair kit (BikeMate)
$39.95 repair stand (also BikeMate)
plus chain lube (WD40) and LED lights, Bike Shed etc.

Anybody here saw/bought the bike?

Passed an Aldi on my Saturday (late)morning travels so I popped in; wasn't specifically looking but don't recall tripping over any boxed bikes yesterday.

The Bikemate workshop gear seems to have changed to white boxes, pretty sure they were blue previously. Manuals updated to "9/2018" datestamp but can't say offhand if there's any changes to the tools but casually all looks same stuff as before.

Didn't think the C02 kit was worth $9... very roughly cast & tacky made. Plus another $9 for 4 cartridges? They sell for that much?! Thought they were priced $1-2ea (AT) LBS & I'd rather give my $$ to them instead. (I don't C02... I prefer N2 )

Pushys doing some big discounting on their Look range, either trying to shift old stock (2017) or whatever :

When did GP4000S IIs get so expensive? Has anyone seen any good prices?

Best I can find is Wiggle at $48 each (28mm version). PBK etc all around $60, same as Bikebug. Looks like the days of low-$40s are over.

I figured that was it.

Merlin has a pair $92 including free tubes - unfortunately no stock of tubes that fit 28mm tyres, and the others all have absurdly long stems.

Had a look at the $AU recently. More likely that.

Yeh that too

Pushys have free shipping again until 11pm Monday

if you are in sydney and like your MAAP products, then check out the Odd Spoke at Dural. they're having an in-store clearance sale on MAAP winter gear. 50-70% off many items.

Pushys have a bunch of Assos gear at 70-75% off. Hard to go past.

For the track folks:

Also available for $29 each.

Canyon Australia are having a sale of their test bikes. Click the link on the info page below to see the Google docs spreadsheet of bikes available:

If anyone was thinking of perhaps buying a bike for one of their diminutive offspring this Xmas, Pushys have a big sale on their range of Forgotten Misfit BMX type bikes :



Down from $499 to $299. I'm not recommending, nor pretending to know anything about BMX bikes, I just thought was a fair discount.

https://www.pushys.com.au/bikes/bmx.htm ... rder=price

Merlin have an extra 10% off selected tyres inc GP4000SII twinpack (with tubes) which is A$94.28 less A$9.43 but then add GST.
All the widths 23mm, 25mm and 28mm are in stock (700C).
You can buy individual tyes instead of a pair if you want - GP4000SII A$48.65 minus 10% discount plus GST (plus A$9.13 freight if order <A$91.25)
