Coming to Oz!
I'll be in Australia this Saturday (02 April 04) for a week and I'
looking forward to visiting some good bike shops in Sydney (CBD). I'v found a few on-line but I know that not all bike shops have web sites I'd be greatfull for any recommendtaions. I'm into road bikes an I'll be doing some basic shopping (lubes, bar tape, tubes, magazine etc.) for me & my cycling mates back in Fiji. Although I'll mainly b in central Sydney I can make it to other suburbs if there's a sho worth visiting Thanks in advance - |

Can you tell us about cycling in Fiji. What are the roads like, would it
be possible to tour, staying at hotels or are they all resorts that you must prebook?

Given you're only here for a week, you may not have much time for shopping around. If you're only after basic consumables like the above, any LBS will do (although for mags you might as well go to a good newsagent), but if you want anything more unusual like a special part or tool, you'll probably want to go to one of the larger places (like Woolys or Clarence Street) to ensure finding what you're after. Of course if you have time to shop around (and don't forget mail order), you can save a few bucks. Andrew |

Andrew Thanks Andre I visited Clarence Street last time I was in Sydney (bought a great Me hemet) and I'll go again. Woolys is on my list as well as Cheeky Monke (thanks cfsmtb) Thank you all. I leave home at 3.30am Sat so I better get some sleep - |
