Goldcross Cycles is having a massive “end of season clearance” (more on this below). They have a list of specials online, broken down by store, for Victoria and banana-bending Queensland.

Note that their website states that these specials are available in-store only (no delivery available), but you might want to try anyway.

Some of the prices are exceptional. If you can in fact order online, there is a flat rate $7 delivery fee, even for multiple items, to anywhere in Australia, plus a free post-purchase professional service on every bike purchased. You might be able to get another 10% off your first purchase by joining Club Goldcross.

They also have an eBay store which may enable you to avoid delivery charges/restrictions altogether. They have also placed some ads on BikeExchange.

Several items that jump out at me include:

For those who don’t need a bike, but want to be part of the action, there’s a few tools on sale, but most accessories are not discounted.

My only connection with this retailer is as an occasional customer.

BACKGROUND

I believe many of the sale items are triggered not so much by an “end of season clearance”, but by a major restructure that is currently underway for the group that owns Goldcross, especially with the introduction of AMart stores into Victoria. My favourite line from this article that discusses the changes: “…increased global price transparency will create deflationary price (and category value) pressures…”. That is, pressure from online sales.

For those interested Goldcross is part of ‘The Super Retail Group’, comprising Supercheap Auto, BCF (Boating Camping and Fishing), Goldcross Cycles, Ray's Outdoors, Rebel Sport, AMart All Sports and FCO (Fishing Camping and Outdoors) (NZ). That’s a big operation…

Competition in the bike game at the moment is intense. Given the circumstances, I wouldn’t expect another sale quite like this for a while. Not sure when the fat lady sings…

    Thanks, great post.

  • theblake on 04/10/2012 - 09:10

    The discount seems exagerrated, I know a bit about this exact bike. If anyone is buying still compare prices elsewhere.
    277268 MONGOOSE CROSSWAY 350 SLAT SILVER L 11* 1.000 Sale 356.85 RRP 549.00

    My mate bought the 2012 model for $330 a couple of months ago, i was going to buy the same bike and the local shop also said the price for the 2013 model was $395.

  • Letrico on 04/10/2012 - 09:26

    very tempted to buy the folding bike tho. Needed one to go to work so I dont need to buy monthly myki anymore lol

    • BuyoTheCat on 04/10/2012 - 09:32

      good idea to ride. dont know about folding bikes though. Unless you need to fold it. I think it is better to get a proper bike.

        I used to own a folding bike and it depends on how far you need to ride. I used it to ride the 4km to work when I lived in Perth and then weave through the footpaths (as Perth cbd is very bike unfriendly) to get to my actual work. It is also handy to fold up if you have a small apartment..or to take in a car, or on the train. In the end I sold it because I wanted to ride longer distances, but it was fun.

  • Cheeper on 04/10/2012 - 09:42

    I wonder…? Front page right side says get 10% off your ""next"" order if you join the club… then in the middle says 10% off your ""first"" order… Is it either or both?

    • 02LyW on 05/10/2012 - 22:56

      i registered and got "20% off your next purchase. Valid for two months from date of issue. regular retail price. store stock only. excludes gift cards and promotional offers"

      i suppose this sale is a promotional offer. wouldn't be bad if you had to buy accessories after buying a bike, like pedals and shoes.

  • martin_henry on 04/10/2012 - 10:25

    Clearance seemd to be VIC and QLD only….

    • [Deactivated] on 04/10/2012 - 10:34

      That's where their stores are.

      You might be able to order & get delivery anywhere from their main website anyway. If not, try their eBay store, as many of the items seem to be listed there as well.

  • acky on 04/10/2012 - 10:35

    Amazing description OP.

  • alwayslooking on 04/10/2012 - 11:01

    Looks like a great sale. I've been looking to get a bike for a while now for my wife and myself, but not too sure on what to get. I would like to ride to work (13 kms) and for my wife, more for leisure.

    Can anyone tell me what these hybrid bikes are like?

    • Atre on 04/10/2012 - 19:37

      I just bought a hybrid bike (from a local shop) and am disappointed with it. Some people love them, but if you are just going to use yours to get to work I recommend a road bike, and perhaps for your wife a hybrid.

    • Atre on 04/10/2012 - 19:42

      some of their flat bar road bikes look good. Or I will sell you my two weeks old hybrid and I can buy one :P

    Massive Bike Sale

    i don't need a massive bike, if they had regular sized bikes on sale i might be interested

    • [Deactivated] on 04/10/2012 - 13:47

      There's the Nitro Freestyle BMX Bike for $49.50, or the Nitro M3 Mountain Bike for $64.50.

      More your size?

      If not, there's always this at $49.50.

      • pete8oes on 04/10/2012 - 13:51

  • ozdavo on 04/10/2012 - 13:41

    Had a similiar sale last year… some bargains to be had, but lots of places will be doing 30% or more off 2011 stock.

  • mduncan2 on 04/10/2012 - 14:56

    I bought a 50% discounted bike from Goldcross on Saturday morning. This was after a good mate bought one on Thursday night a few days before. I got a Fuji SST 2.0 road bike. Carbon frame, ultegra gearset. I love it. Total price paid for the bike was $1650. I was damn happy with that price. Sure, it was last year's model, but I don't think I would have come close to spending that little on a carbon fibre frame with Ultegra gearset from many of the other local bike stores.
