MintSauce Posted March 27, 2008 Share Funny thing that bikeshops and distributors don't seem to be getting rich...? And when you consider that there are single big shops in the US that move more stock of some items than a SA distributor then it's understandable that we don't get great prices. No....I don't work in the industry. I'm all for sharing your opinion, but perhaps people will consider yours when it's shared in a respectable manner. As it stands you come across as a bit of a arse actually. Use it....don't use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dun Man Posted March 27, 2008 Share What a beauty I have to say seems that Mountain Biking is no different from Golf in the sense that its all equipment! equipment!
