I am looking at getting a new roadie as the entry level bike I have time is up.
I ask "Would you buy a Malvern Star?" as there seems to be a stigma attached to the brand, albeit iconic in Australia's cycling history.
I am looking at Ultegra equiped bikes and the Oppy 6 appears to be great value, complete Ultegra groupset mavic krisium(sp) wheels quality tyres etc.
Great value when compared with bikes in a similar price range from Merida, Cannondale, Orbea and Trek are a few of the others Ive looked at, all these have house brand or lower quality bits here and there.
I have no allegence to any brand and do not need to be euro cool, i want to ride the best bike I can afford, you just dont see many Oppy's out on the road and i was wondering if it was beacause Malvern Star is not considered cool enough.
