I was waiting for mine, and started to doubt that I'd actually subscribed at all (it was months ago). I'm walking past the news agent and I see the new edition, so I buy it. I get home and there's a copy sitting in my letterbox!! 😠 Anyone want to buy a slightly used copy of Ride? 🙄

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that! I'm in the market at the moment, and I'd love to see a comparison of sub $3K bikes. It's great reading about Colnago's and the like, but how many of their readers are in the market for a $10K bike?

exactly!
I do enjoy reading reviews of amazing bikeporn, but not every issue. A couple of years ago the mix was quite good, but since then it has been strictly 4 grand and up. There are plenty of lovely bikes for under 4 grand.

That new steel cervolo for instance. That is a lovely bike.

Yes a truly great magazine, but I cancelled my subscription got sick and
tired of Rob's excuse's for it being late, always late.

yes true, it does get progressively late every 3 months, but i have loads of other bike mags and forum posts to read in the meantime.

plus they gave me a free pair of socks one time!

Yes, I could not agree with you more. I am on the market for a $4000-$4500
(max) bike for 2005 and want to see more of those tested and compared. The
RIDE and often Bicycling Australia too seem to start from ~$4500 and go up
rapidly. This has to be a very small percentage of the market? Why not test
the road bike "mid-range" in say $3-$5K price band? And given it comes out
every 3 months I would like more models tested.

Speaking of $4K-$4500 range...... I like the look of new all-carbon
Specialized 2005 Roubaix Elite and Tarmac Comp.

Does anyone have any recommendations of really good and knowledgeable
Specialized dealers in Melbourne? I need someone who really knows how ti
size bodies to bicycles because I do not wish to spend $4000 on a great bike
that happens to be one size too big or one size too small for me.

Any advice? Specifically any good/bad opinions on Hampton Cycles? Fitzroy
Cycles in Carnegie? Freedom Machine in Prahran? Anyone else? Bike-fit skills
of the shop and their post-sales support are critical for me.

thanks in advance!
