We often get ripped on parts up here as there aren’t to many bike shops.
There are however a lot of riders and a group of us are in the process of forming a Collective Purchasing Group in order to secure better deals. We’re all well known to each other so it should work and have all been getting pissed off just getting the obligatory 10% discount.
Strength in numbers we reckon, turn it around on the retailer, make him work for our hard earned cash. We’re not after stupid discounts and I am an ex retailer so are aware of overheads but I am also aware of some of the margins these retailers have to play with. (Something you guys might consider)
Cheers, see ya’ll next year.

It was said/typed somewhat tounge in cheek I had no other options on a sunday avo anyway.

I've had some very very sharp deals from the shop in question in the past, so I don't mind paying full price or close to it on occasion. I also get good service and reasonable deals from the local m/bike shop, even got them on speed dial

Only good if the rears a 21 inch job, otherwise you'd need several rim locks, speaking of which... I found some in a drawer the other day if any one wants them, free to a good home

Sorry, didn't mean to offend.
Wish I could say the same about good deals from my local bike shop up here in the Far North. Hence why we're forming the collective purchasing group.
