ricochet_rabbit Posted December 3, 2013 Author Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) get him to pop over to CyclingExpress.com (aussie based) as they have some great deals. this little beauty is going for about R36K (that's 44% off to you and me). Make no mistake aussie roads are hectic. General public (usually tradies in utes) actually take enjoyment in harrassing riders and recent death tolls on the New South Wales doubled in the last 2 years and last month 5 riders were killed in Sydney Metro. If you're riding in aus' then get prepared for a good bit of verbal, driving throwing stuff and a good bit of swerving towards you to flick you into a the gravel. hopefully the Victorian drivers are a little better Edited December 3, 2013 by ricochet_rabbit
T-Bob Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 the tarmac & pina are both in that price range already.the pina is full ultegra-6800 11 sdp with Fulcrum racing sport wheelset and it's $100 cheaper than that time beauty. That's a pretty good range to play in. The Time is 11Sp as is the pinna and the tarmac is a great bike as well. Personally I'd go for the Time as it's such a exclusive bike, insane attention to detail, amazing after service, they still make everything out of the factory in France and people won't instantly think you bought a stickered cheapie out of china if you go with the Pina! Whatever he goes for he's going to be stoked... lucky man.

gummibear Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 The frames start at about $2400 but postage to SA almost doubles it. They are based in Australia and their service is brilliant.
Cippo Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 The missus Common sense doesnt exist in purchases like that. She can find out what it costs another day.
ricochet_rabbit Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 He just ordered the tarmac...lucky chap.
T-Bob Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Nice. Good to see that 1 state in aus' has adopted the 1m rule into law, Must have been watching SA!
