MTB Rental
Hi,
I am new to Sydney so still trying to find my way around. I have a friend over from the US this week and we are looking to go for a ride on Friday afternoon (probably Manly Dam if it is open). He won't have a bike so I am looking to find rental options in/around the city or lower north shore. I have looked ta a few online but most either don't seem to have good quality bikes or will only rent for a minimum period of 2 days (we probably only need 6 hours max).
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Fizik saddles - Le Spit Cyclery
Le Spit has 3 types of Fizik saddle going for $50 each.
Limited colours but still a great buy.
I got a Gobi XM.
Can't recall the other models but Gobi XM was in the middle of the three in terms of width and comfort. There was a firmer flatter profile 'race' saddle and a wider saddle available.
CRC "sales"..
Has anyone noticed CRC's high RRP values on some sale items?
Needed to buy a part (not available in AUS), ended up on CRC.
I always keep my eyes open for bargains and they are currently running a "50 unbeatable" deals promotion, with very high discounts, calculated against their RRP prices.
Not going to go into details, check for yourself, then go check some other sites for their comparison prices and RRP values.
unbeatable? really..??

Bike discounts - can anyone explain why?
Over the last six months I have used the bikeexchange site to check on bike prices.
What I have noticed is the LBS in Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia will usually be offering the bike at a price below the RRP.
In Sydney, it's almost guaranteed that the bike will only be available at the RRP.
Can anyone offer a reasonable explanation why this is?
fork upgrade
