Hello all,
Getting pretty sick of being served by a pimply teenage girl who rides road bikes at my local Bicycle Superstore. She wouldn't know the first thing about hitting the trails at the You Yangs etc.
Also getting pretty sick of going in to my local Goldcross store to see 2 pair of Fox shorts on the stand - both not my size (and not my preferred brand).
No wonder internet shopping is thriving. It is great until you want to buy knicks, shorts etc where you actually have to try the product on. Extremely frustrating when you see all these wonderful products out there on the market only to go to your local store to see none of it.
So the question is: are there any decent shops out there for mountain bike gear? Brunswick St Cycles years ago wasn't too bad. They actually catered for the mountain biking enthusiast. These other stores are just toy shops; large shop spaces full of toys. (Probably my bad for going in to them).
I live in the Essendon/Ascot Vale area.
Any info greatly appreciated.
Regards.
