Can I get a list of recommended Aussie sites to buy parts/accessories online
(yes, I know about Ebay).

Cheers,
Brad

Just clicked on that and got in the blurb....quote

Bikefanatic has just celebrated it's 1st birthday. To celebrate we are having a big sale on at the end of Jan

.....end quote

Wonder if that Jan next year, or if it the one that's gone, could be a worry?

Uh..
You mean someone actually looks at my website?
I think I took that down ages ago.
Maybe someone could start up a new one. I don't really have enough
time anymore. Too many projects on already. My aim for this year is to
do a lot less than last year.

Yes, but most of the sites are garbage, including most not having actual
online shops. One day perhaps I'll swing a deal where I'll build a bike
shop a decent web site and get paid in kind...

I'm sorry, I just cannot give my money to a web site that starts with
"Welcome, Dude!" :)

Hey. It's bad enough you guys f*&%ing up one thread with your endless
inane vitriol. Put it this way, if you were on a ride, together, I'd
expect you to have hooked each other into the weeds after 5k's ARGUING
ABOUT WHICH WAY A TYRE STICKER SHOULD GO ON THE WHEEL!!!! SHUT UP!!! I
wouldn't go anywhere near either of you, even if you were the only wheel
into a 50km/h headwind.

None of them. Not one. Unless you want a poor range and high prices, you
will need to look at overseas shops. I was impressed by aebike.com .

Locally, take http://www.bikenow.com.au/ as an example.

Cheapest crankset is $193 for an M510.
From aebike I had a massive choice. The M510 was US$60, (A$100)
but a more suitable one (in this case) was US$35, ie
about A$70 delivered (with other items).

What about the LBS? I tried a local shop (biggest in perth possibly?)
No 9-speed MTB crankset in stock. They offered an inferior Alivio
model at a higher price. Fortunately, I could afford to wait 1-2
weeks for an overseas order.

Another comparison. HG-50 cassette. $80-90 here and limited choice.
USA: US$29, or choose an SRAM.

Though bikenow does include freight to any capitol(sic) city.
