Thought this would be a good thread.
Cycling attire (and parts) dont come cheap these days (especially if your a uni student
like me ๐ )
Just wondering if anyone knows any really cheap cycling stores or warehouses in melbourne?
Not really. My tips...
1. Find a good local bike shop and spend lots there, maybe hassle them for a little bit off here and
there and they may start giving you "mates rates" on bits. (My preferred method)
2. Only buy specials, close outs and other heavily discounted gear. (Uni student mode)
3. Shop online. Huge savings can be found.. but remember your local bike shop! Support the locals
when possible. Try: www.probikekit.com/aus/index.php (when the lbs price is just too high or they
can't get "that" part)
4. Finish uni, wave your degree in front of an employer, score a job, earn WAAAY more than you do
now, buy bike parts to your hearts content! (My current method combined with 1.)
hth hippy :-P
