G'day,
so what's the secret?...Are we being ripped off unmercilessly by all the frame/component manufacturers?. I kow a mate of mine wanted a Madone 5.9. RRP in Oz $10K.....with a bit of shopping around he got it for $8.5K.....If he had of imported it directly from the states himself, he could of got it for $6.5K which would of included customs duty, GST & insurance. The only problem was that TREK refused to honour any warranty if he did that, (supposedly to protect the 'dealer' system).....but just shows you how 'ripped off' we are getting. So is this mob gunna be in the shops?, or only over the 'net?,
cheers,
Hitchy
