    nice. too bad just bought a bike.

  • Spets on 24/01/2012 - 11:55

    ffffff, why never XL left

  • [Deactivated] on 24/01/2012 - 11:59

    Does anyone know if you can get a second hand equivalent with shimano 105 groupset. I don't want to spend this much as I am just a beginner.

      look on cellbikes.com.au

      You wont find much with 105 for much less (unless it's quite old).

      Often have good deals for runout models.

      There is a balance between frame quality and components.
      Better off with a decent alloy\aluminium frame as a starter with 105 components than a cheap carbon frame with Tiagra.

    • jcrew on 24/01/2012 - 18:02

      Try Reid Cycles. Their "Falco" bicycle sells new for $899 as uses the 105 groupset. You can pick it up in Sydney or else shipping is $55.

      http://www.reidcycles.com.au/falco.html

      I bought the model below (Osprey) and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm just a beginner as well though so I haven't got too much to compare it to.

    Very good price. Even Shimano 105 groupset is the price for the bike itself.

  • plasmapuff on 24/01/2012 - 12:15
    • $80 shipping brings it to $1000 though :-(

    Not a bad deal at all, although it's not a full 105 groupset, they have cheaped out on a lot of the components. Another great deal in a similar price range is this http://www.cyclingexpress.com/cycle/azzurri-imperia-elite.as… for $1050 + postage. It's not full carbon (has carbon forks and rear stays) but it does have the full 105 groupset and decent enough wheels.

    Another for those looking for a larger frame, slightly heavier as not full carbon but cheaper at $899 and same 105 groupset. Currently out of stock but due in soon

    What does size small mean? What age group or height could use this bike?

  • BrainSeeker on 24/01/2012 - 15:04

    This seems like a good place to ask.

    Ive been looking at getting into Triathlon and just need a relatively cheap 'beginner' bike.

    Im right in 6foot tall but have no idea what size bike I would need.

    If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great :)

    • hoiboy on 24/01/2012 - 16:33

      Really depends on your body proportions (leg length etc.) but I would say you're a 56cm, 57cm or 58cm frame person (different manufacturers have different sizing available). I'm 5"10 and ride a 56cm frame (I ride a Focus Cayo 2).

      As for "beginner" bike - what's your budget, i.e. what's "cheap"? Anywhere under $1k and you probably should be scouring the second hand market - I see well cared-for aluminium Giant road bikes all the time on Gumtree for less than that threshold (something like this - http://sydney.gumtree.com.au/c-Stuff-for-Sale-sports-bicycle…).

      You can also pick up some really well priced carbon bikes from last year's range for around $1500ish - something like this perhaps - http://tbsm.com.au/bikes/road/road-race-training/focus-2011-… - obviously your choices open up more as your budget increases.

  • Black Hole on 24/01/2012 - 15:11

    I would like to do more riding but it is just so dangerous riding among the cars and trucks. Just wondering any tips on safe track and riding.

    • Smigit on 24/01/2012 - 16:05

      We need to know where you live to answer that.

      • Black Hole on 24/01/2012 - 17:26

        I will be moving to Box Hill, Victoria 3128.

        • PurpleHippo on 25/01/2012 - 16:56

          Just ride down the bike trails which run alongside the eastern freeway…

    why no GST? it's an Aussie website and GST is already included from what I understand.
    But $1K for carbon frame and mainly 105 groupset (notice compact FSA cranks and brakes) is a very good price - you'll be hard pressed to find alu frame with 105 for that price. (eg REID FALCO )

    • troyww on 24/01/2012 - 16:44

      My bad . For some reason I thought they were a NZ company .

      • Dover on 24/01/2012 - 20:18

        They are!! The bike i ordered is coming from NZ as did the parts i ordered a fortnight ago. They have addresses in Sydney (and Melbourne too i think), but most stuff comes from NZ.
