Any tips for finding a used bike in Melbourne?
Hello to all cycling friends,
I'm looking for a used bike (MTB preferred) in Melbourne. Perhaps I should mention, that I'm a german student, who will work in Melbourne for half a year, so if you know any good addresses of shops or could give me some hints for local newspapers or magazines which offer ads for used bikes or something like that, you would help me a lot. I know I will miss my bike here at home as soon as I lift up from the ground next week to fly to Australia and I can't imagine not doing my daily ride for half a year. Thanks to all in advance.

Buy a copy of "The Trading Post" from most supermarkets, newsagents, etc. It comes out on Thursdays I think. It has a Bicycle section and various price ranges. Or search their site online at: www.tradingpost.com.au I found my track bike the other day using their online search facility. Some bike shops sell second-hand bikes too. Where are you located? Someone could give you some shops to try... hth hippy |

Email me, and I can get you a bike much cheaper than anything you can buy out of the trading post. $30-$40 will get you a bike that will last you 6 months, no probs! --- DFM |
