Compulsory bike content - Hitchy, I've found a place in the US that has white and silver Ariones for USD105. Very tempted. Hopefully it'll be arse-friendly, coz that'd look spankin' on my bike, especially with white tape Summer face-lift for the steed.
Oi Tiger,
If you're serius about the Arione, I picked one up on ebay the other day for $88USD. Some bike shop in Qld, (he sells in USD even though he's in Oz), I've seen him with a few of these on ebay before & since, so it might be worthwhile either contacting him direct, or pursing ebay for his future auctions...here's the link to the one I got if yo wanna contact him
