Thanks also. Went to Forest Hill and Box Hill after work, unfortunately both had next to no cycling clothing, though Forest Hill did have the warmer jacket in a number of sizes but not marked down. Actually felt like it would be too warm even in the middle of winter!

I ended with one $5 jersey for commuting duty and 1 pair shy shorts for $25. Other gear included a pair of budgy smugglers for $5 and two general sports shorts for cheap...

You are right the jacket is designed to be very warm, but then I don't mind wearing some of my cycling gear while fishing in the freezing cold wind the extra pockets come in handy, and I find that even an old pair of padded knicks worn under my jeans make it much more comfortable to sit no matter what you are sitting on. :lol: :wink:

Does anyone own a new version of the fly6? I'm interested in the size of it. I'm a little on the vertically challenged side & don't have a huge amount of seat post to play with!
I own one myself, couldn't be happier :)

Wonder why they had the Fly6 so high on the seat post - it would catch that tag trailing from the saddle

It would be best if people could resize their pics before posting, thanks.
If drivers and riders spent more time worrying about their responsibilities than their rights then roads would be far safer.

What is that little ribbon hanging down from the seat anyway? Some kind of SMP marketing tag? You'd reckon they would have removed that for publicity shots, eyes drawn to it.

Fly6 is a great idea and very cool. When the price starts to approximate a realistic level I will definitely buy one, until then I'll stick to my $30 cheapo flasher and hope nobody hits me from behind.

Back on topic:
Trek 7.2 2014 $550 price match at Melbourne Bicycle Centre, be quick!
I think that this is a deal at least for Victoria since the only retailers offering this bicycle at the same price or even for less on bikeexchange are located in Queensland, they also tell nothing about availability so the search results might be outdated.
Melbourne Bicycle Centre also has 20% off on some accessories.
My advice is to always go to the shop and not only relaying on web results.

I passed on those, as I find them to be way too hot and sweaty, even in the depths of Canberra winter. Layering Aldi winter thermal tights (the ones they bring out with the snow gear) is the best way to stay warm enough without sweating IME.

Free shipping at c r c...

Which is quite annoying since Ive spent $20 on two separate orders since Christmas there which are exactly the same price as they are now and I could of waited. Geez I'm impatient as I knew free shipping would of eventually come up ( like now!)

I bought loads of gear from c r c last year but there doesn't appear to be too many bargains on there now. I just ordered over at Ribble, most of what I bought was better priced (and order was above threshold for free shipping anyway).

Some fairly cheap bottle cages on there at the moment. I also bought a new cassette for the going price a couple of weeks ago. But yeah ribble has really stepped up the competition. Bought a groupset from them on the boxing day sales really cheap.

Ribble have had their 6800 and 6870 individual components at a price where you can put together a full group for that sort of money for months now. Free shipping and you can split it into two orders to avoid fees and tax.

Through forgetfulness and coincidence of course... Not a deliberate defrauding of Customs and the ATO...

Yeah I would of done the split order if I knew exactly what to buy so thought it was safer to do the full order. But I would do the split order now I know what components are what.
