    My order from R2 took 9 days to reach Melbourne. Didnt really receive any updates after it arrived in Frankfurt on the 29th of Feb, so it was a nice surprise when it turned up this arvo. Everything was present, but the packaging looked like it had been launched off a 5 floor building - bit of a...

    Hi, Now that chain reaction is gone then what sites are people using to get reasonable price parts? (Ze Germans I assume, but which one, it's been a while since I ordered from them).

    Buying bike parts from overseas, shipping time estimates and methods ?

    Update, contacted chain reaction again and got told everything was fine, just handling delays. Then overnight they cancelled my order blaming me for having a "non numeric" postcode :VIC3000 (The way its always been in their system, all prepopulated over my 10 plus years and $1000s of dollars...

    Looking at those figures and the inability to sell bikes or coffee then I reckon an industry partner would be the best bet for the Montague site. It’s a shame that PV couldn’t have come to the party with the visitor centre, it is the perfect location and could be run on a shoestring as a co-op...

    Interesting idea. How long do you reckon it will take for the business to produce $100k for the trails? I get that it's a long game plan, but that's alot of money.

    It was a few years ago when pv started threatening the club with liability due to a number of incidents in the park. The liability is all theirs of course, which we got in writing and that was the end of that. Theres a bit more to it , but that's as much of a summary as I want to give on here...

    Parks had many options as to how to deal with this situation. I think we've lost around 8km of unofficial trails in the last three years, and we dont seem to have got any new ones.
