that one, in fact.
Was looking at buying an expensive bike, but now this seems tempting. Especially because i could still buy all my bike gear if i get this.

enines in those are solid as. I would strongly suggest getting a mechanical inspection done, might cost you $100, bu well worth it, you dont wanna find out it needs $500 worth of work done on it.

Very good idea if it allows for gear in your budget. good gear will last years and years, youll probably go through a bike every 12-18 months, so very wise to get the gear now.

Cheers, sound advice :) Will definately have to plan a trip to auckland soon and sort it out.
Quite a lot of good gear on 1tonne and Forbes & Davies(looks like a new thing?).
