*Very* Good LBS: Brunswick St Cycles (Melb)

fred

Heya group,

Bought an as-feckin'-new Wilderness Trail Bikes (little bit of mud
splashed on it, but nuthin' else) WTB SSTX saddle outa the bargain bin
for $AU 10 at Brunswick Street Cycles.

Loooong and narrow.
Dropped saddle snoot - *perfect* for
a) thigh-grippin'-on-the-chair gravel and loose dirt,
b) tip-of-the-saddle on the aero bars.
(me - commuter: Mongoose 18' MTB, Cinelli 40cm drops, Campag road 8/3
brake/shifters, mixed Sachs/Shimano/no-name-Taiwanese 44/22/20 10-19)

Saddle on E-Bay for $US 25-60. Retailing new in other bike shops new
for $AU 75-90 or so.
www.brunswickstreetcycles.com.au - $10!!!

They rawk!

Ditto, that other rather good LBS down at Richmond Station. Strong Light
1"1/8' Headset, $50, superb gold finish, matches the "Holden Sandlewood"
spraypaint job on the SS. 'Tis a thing of beauty. Any other bargain bin
trophies out there?

Nothing that stands out.

Has anyone been down to that place (Bicycle recycle???) on South Rd,
Moorabbin?

I've had a couple of bikes from Bicycle Recycle. Friendly and helpful
service. Good to drop in occasionally to see what's avail!

Gotta agree there. Brunswick Street Cycles has provided me with
damned excellent service for years. And they happen to be half way
between home and work, so location is another plus.
