Default Cheap Cycling wear shop in melbourne

Hey Melbourne Peoples...

Thought this would be a good thread.

Cycling attire (and parts) dont come cheap these days (especially if
your a uni student like me )

Just wondering if anyone knows any really cheap cycling stores or
warehouses in melbourne?

There is a place in Glenhuntly Road, Elsternwick... Can't think of its name
off hand, but they advertise in the BV magazine...

Not really. My tips...

1. Find a good local bike shop and spend lots there, maybe
hassle them for a little bit off here and there and they may start
giving you "mates rates" on bits. (My preferred method)

2. Only buy specials, close outs and other heavily discounted
gear. (Uni student mode)

3. Shop online. Huge savings can be found.. but remember your
local bike shop! Support the locals when possible.
Try: www.probikekit.com/aus/index.php
(when the lbs price is just too high or they can't get "that" part)

4. Finish uni, wave your degree in front of an employer, score
a job, earn WAAAY more than you do now, buy bike parts
to your hearts content! (My current method combined with 1.)

Try Melbourne Bicycle Centre just up High St from Chapel St Prahran - they give
good prices on most items.

If you ride Beach Rd, there is that new Cafe Cogs place in Elwood.
Haven't been in but they advertise Castelli Bibs for $50 which looks
like a good deal (unless this is only for the extremely small or large
sizes maybe?).
