Found and purchased here this morning. New model Sidi's seem not to have a mega fit so bought the runout. Bargain...

And then bought two Dura-ace chains, two cassettes (1 dura and 1 Ultegra so I can see for myself the difference) an undershirt, some chamois cream, 10 tubes & some gels. Saved heaps of money!!!! [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]

50% off Castelli (AT) Torpedo7, a bit of a jackpot on sizes available.

very slow delivery... My castelli order just took 2 weeks... Dispatch email says it shipped from Sydney, but it actually ships from NZ

Wiggle have an 11 speed Shimano compatible rear wheel for $Au95.
Has anyone seen a cheaper way of getting converted (providing of course you have an 11 speed groupset)??

Plus GST, adding the 10% back on. Still a decent deal, $300 cheaper than Bikebug (who I think may price match).

So go to Ribble and buy the Brifters in 1 package and the rest of the Gruppo in another. The Ribble prices are only slightly more if you buy the Groupset as parts, would definitely be cheaper than paying the extra $300 GST.

(cue people whinging about GST and local companies not being able to compete etc)

Reid have got a sale on 2014 bikes. They have the Osprey starting at $399.

I had been looking for a cheap secondhand bike but I am tempted by this new especially if I can haggle the VIP internet discount out of them.

Clickbike is having a Friday the 13th sale on, one day only. I've just had a look, must not show up until business hours. Maybe check at midday your time.

Edit: Don't bother, they seem to have forgotten their own advertising, no sale happening. It's like watching the chimney for Santa then being told that he ain't real ...

Bikebug no longer price match on anything. I sent them a request to price match one of the UK online stores' price on GP4000S tyres and they replied saying they don't do it anymore. So I bought the tyres from UK, Their loss, my gain.

Saw that but they don't state if its a 28 or 32 hole...28 and I'd be all over it.

I managed to get through it but it was painfull. :cry:
If drivers and riders spent more time worrying about their responsibilities than their rights then roads would be far safer.

Yes they used to do it last year and I remembered it was quote easy.
Oh well, can't blame them as their prices are good for an Aussie bricks and motar store.

I think it's a case of being so successful that they don't need to price match.

Or a case of them establishing the brand with a price match policy and abandoning it once they have enough traffic to survive despite the abandonment. I have a voucher from Christmas that I haven't used because they are really expensive. I will not be back once it is done.

Yep but if I am going to pay local Aussie prices, rather than squeeze for the last 5% of savings I will go to Dave at my LBS. I might be tempted by a 40% discount from overseas but I'm not going to white-ant Dave for the last $5.
