G'Day,
I've got the Shogun PB Expert myself. Here's a link that'll help ya.... www.cyclelink.com.au/category312_1.htm Personally I bought my bike from Blackman's Bicycles in Parramatta NSW. Their phone number is 02 9683 6555. I don't know if they stock the model that you're after but happy hunting anyway. -- it's all a creeping beige conspiracy -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |

TB, did you end up buying one? Or do any other members have one? I'm thinking about a cheapie MTB for riding on the bike paths for social rides with friends - very few want to come out on the road with me! I've noted the Trail Breaker 2 is on sale at present for $450ish. Can anyone recommend it or something similar? I really don't want anything flash, just nothing so cheap that I'll regret it later (e.g. if I can't find parts, or realised that I probably should have paid the extra $100 to save 5kg of weight etc). e.g. this Malvern Star Aspect... too cheap? http://www.melbournebicycle.com.au/ Love to hear people's thoughts! Cletus Well the learsport tr3270 isn't too bad..aluminium and full alivio componentry for $550. I purchased a progear (no-name) alivio equipped bike for $500 with full servicing from the LBS (bike Barn in parramatta). It's not melbourne I know but with MTB's you can get mega specials as there are so manu of them and so many bike shops selling them. I found it really helps to mention learsport while you are talking to the salesperson as my guy knocked $50 off the price as soon as I mentioned them :-) I already have a shonkmaster, no-name MTB and it's serverd me well and I couldn't care less about owning a giant or whatever. I assume that since you only want it for social rides you can pretend to be really uninterested in it all and get an even better price. -- -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |

I assume that since you only want it for social rides you can pretend to be really uninterested in it all and get an even better price. Anything I really need to watch out for though? Minimum of Alivio gearing (or Acera?) or a particular brand of shocks? Other than a Giant Boulder I owned for about 2 weeks (and hated) 5 years ago, I've never had any exposure to non-road bikes... I guess the heart of the matter is what are the "must-haves" on a mountain bike? Much like I would suggest STI (and hence at least Tiagra) on a road bike... -- -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |
