I'm in the market for a new bicycle. Don't know much about bikes since they've changed a lot over the past 10 years with all their shockies, disc brakes and body frames etc. The bike would be mainly used for longish distance riding on road probably 10km+ and I'm willing to spend up to 700 or so. Don't know much about brands but from memory I saw a lot of Giant and Avanti that look pretty decent. Can anyone point me in the right direction ? ta

www.georgesbikeshop.com.au

has the price listings on there for the giant stuff.

Just helped a friend look at road bikes from Joondalup City Cycle and Bikeforce. He eventually settled for one from TBE in Willetton.

Awesome, a fixed gear track bike....your knees will love it!

Yeah I'm in the market for a new bike, my duallie wastes too much energy round the city although is great for stairs and garden short cuts. I'm thinking about getting a 2009 Giant STP 1 if I can get a good deal. Need to get one of those trailers for my little girl too.
