TEN23

Browsing the Reid Cycles online store and a popup asked for an email to "join us" (I assume it's for their newsletter?) for a code to get $10 off $50 online spend.

Code appears to be generic, the code appeared straight away on screen after I entered an email. I did not receive an email afterwards. It said code was valid for 7 days.

They have some nice discounts going now, Osprey 2015 for $399, comes to $389 after code.

Don't forget 4% cashback via cash rewards too, which I assume works with the coupon code?

  Last week I bought something using code TEN29, with $20 minimum spend, not sure if it is still valid now. Also, somebody posted a $10 coupon to buy things in store for Melbourne in case you are planning to spend less than $50

  I'm no cyclist, but I've been thinking of getting a road bike. Can anyone recommend these bikes or is this a you get what you pay for situation (Are they good value?)

    I just picked up a Osprey 2015 Flat Bar bike. Seemed pretty good for the money and well although I will admit, I was over it by the time I got home from the shop having not ridden in over a year to riding 37km home.

    I would recommend the bike if you were after a budget road bike.

    I have never ridden one but they look like OK value for a low end entry level roadie depending on what you want. I probably wouldn't ride '3 Peaks' on one but for a weekend shop ride, commute to work etc probably OK. How serious do you want to get into cycling? Chris Froome in a boiler suit on a Reid would smash past MAMILs in Castelli aero kit on $12K Pinarellos so fitness and strength are ultimately more important than your bike

    Others will probably get on and tell you to buy 2nd hand off gumtree. If you know exactly what you are after there are good deals on Gumtree and Facebook for 2nd hand bikes but you would have to know things like frame geometry, saddle height/setback, crank length, gear ratios etc. Also beware 2nd hand carbon frames, you wouldn't wand a hidden crack to fail on you somewhere like 70 Km/hr down a hill.

    I reckon Local Bike Shop (LBS) near where you live is nearly always the best option for 1st serious bike. They will set you up with all of this plus discounts on helmets, lights, spare tubes etc. They will also know about all the local rides and groups and probably have a weekend 'shop ride' you can joinup with to meet other riding buddies. Dont underestimate this support, I've been a MAMIL for about 3 years now and most of the stuff I've learned about cycling was learned talking to the guys at my local shop or in a coffee shop somewhere mid-ride on a weekend. Through my local shop ride I've made loads of new friends and achieved far more than I ever would have done riding by myself, think of it as a support network for cycling. We are all doing 'Around The Bay' together in a team and another couple of rides over summer, these are all just guys I met through turning up to the free local ride organised by my LBS for Saturday mornings, free organised ride and anybody that turns up is welcome, casual, 'no drop' rides. You should also expect to 'haggle for a bike in a shop, there are loads of bikes around so play 1 shop off against another. Take a bike or 2 out for a test ride.

    There will be somebody out there that rides 400 km a week on a 1970's era dragster and holds all the Strava KOMs for a 200 km radius and will proclaim loud and proud that a Reid is more bike than most will ever need BUT, in my personal opinion, if you are looking to take cycling up as a hobby and do some longer rides (100 km+ in a day) maybe even work up to a '3 peaks' etc then I would set my sights higher than a Reid, maybe something with a Carbon frame, an Ultegra groupset and an OK set of wheels (Fulcrum 5, Campy Zonda, Pro-Lite Bracciano or equivalent)

      Wow! Thanks a heap for the effort here. I'm not a big cyclist at all, I've had Giant mountain bikes that my brother and I have had since we were in primary school, so we have both out grown them. We aren't serious riders, but would love the option on a good day to visit the local shops or for some little cardio.

      So what I can gauge from all that is that the bikes perform "OK". I suppose importantly, the quality is something I'm more concerned about.
