Is it the shops or the distributors? I know the mark up is high, but I'm guessing the wholesale price is high too.

my local shop, where I get awesome deals, sold me a Pro Race for $65!!!
Then he quoted me $100 for a CXP33 rim!!

A coouple of mates were training past big Dave's place (the axe in the log out the front is a bit of a giveaway) one year....and he was in the front yard! Invited them in for a beer and a snack. Top bloke.


Oh yeah.....Danny Clark's singing. God awful. What is it with Tasmanians and no sense of embarrasment??? :D

How much for an Open Corsa KS?

About $45 if I remember right, but they don't do bulk discounts. With the Cx's,the more you buy the less you pay, so you can get the price down to $37 or $38 per tyre if you buy five or more.

If I may state the obvious.....again......I guess it makes sense to
get together with a few blokes to buy a whole batch

I had a huge off on the first day.
We were crossing a dried out riverbed, two trails, I was on the cleaner one.
A small lip on the bank obscured the trails on the far side, a wee jump out of the banking revealed my trail ran dead into a huge boulder field.
After some bike and body ping pong trying to steer thru the rocks, I went OTB and smashed up my helmet and colored my arm purple (through the armour)!

Lucky to get away so lightly!

Think Rob Mundle :eek: and be thankful for small mercies.

I wonder if Cooke, Mcgee, Renshaw, and Wilson will hook up on any training rides with Boonen now Boonen has moved to Monte Carlo.

I know Saul Raisin and Lovquist are also there. Doubt many Belgians are there. This is the big question mark over Boonen's move. Not a big question mark, but he will need to find a few training partners, should not be difficult. But the Aussies would be four of the strongest in Monaco/Monte Carlo.

Hondo is gooooooorne! Court of Arbitration threw out his appeal and added an extra year for his trouble.

And am I couriering a silca? If so let me know and I'll drop by sometime on the weekend to pick it up.

Either day is fine, but I won't have to watch the clock on Sunday.
