For about AUD1850 (plus delivery and tax) you get a FM066 frame and full SRAM Force plus finishing kit. Even the wheels aren't that bad.
Tax to be paid (according to Duty Calculator(dutycalculator.com)) - AU$368.99
Mod Edit: Please include the original currency.
I wouldn't do it if its your first bike… You are better off going into your local bike store and having a look around. Some include a professional fit if you buy a bike (proper set up ie: saddle height, stem lengths etc). Get a bike that fits is better than buying a bike which is a "better deal" that doesn't fit. You'll thank yourself for it later :)
I would be looking to upgrade from a alloy frame and carbon fork bike.
At $2k it's a bit much now…

Can find a lot of good buys there!
Shows as $833 ex vat + $195 shipping for me
With this Brexit happening, wouldn't the Pound be dropping even more?
I've been wondering why these types of bikes cost over 1-2k what are the benefits??
I bought one of the diamond back mountain bike for $250 with bigger tyres and disc brakes, it has never let me down and works beautifully, the design is nice with good comfort!
speed, weight, hill climbing ability, comfort, ego
Can confirm. The massive boner that comes with riding a full carbon/dura ace bike helps steer wind towards your preferred direction for optimum performance.
Can anyone vouch on the deal being good? Any other good deals?
