My first post, so may as well make it useful...

Clarence St seems to be having a birthday sale from this Thursday to Monday. 15-50% off everything, apparently, if you didn't know ( for details - http://www.cyclery.com.au )

As long as no-one buys up the last Tourmalet in stock after reading this, I'll be happy - because by the time the week is through I plan to have my first road bike.

I'm a lurker and may become more permanent - time will tell. But thanks all for the informative threads.
