Road bikes don't come more refined than a Ridley. And for most of us, Ridley remains a dream our wallets just can't reach. Until now!
Thanks to the crazy crew at MBC, us mere mortals can sit-a-top a pedigree machine at a mongrel price.
The Orion is truly unbeatable value for money. 2012 Features for maximum stiffness to weight ratio and 24-ton high modulus carbon fiber along with Mono seat stays designed to increase stiffness & comfort.
Ok, so It's Mr Wong, and no one uses travelers cheques these days, but the message is the same.
This bike has had the stays raped out of it to the tune of $1,000!!!
For all you Tri hards out there, that is a crap load of energy bars and vasoline.
The frame is sublimely sharp to maximise your precision during both short and longer legs.
Shimano, Oval and FSA help round out the tasty cake you see, along with some beautiful in-house parts from Fuji themselves.
Named after the famous 20th Century Pet Detective, Ace Ventura, this rodent will have you smiling all the way home. Especially when you think back on the deal just collected.
The only thing serious is the bike and the deal. The saving is an utter joke and we can hear you giggling already.
From funny man to funny offer, they say the best medicine is laughter so strap on your Hawaiian shirt, worst cargo shorts and gel-up that 'do' for all it's worth.
Get a little spice in your life with this tasty little treat from Mal Adjusted.
You'll be cooking up a storm on the way to work, the way home and then on the track. The frame is fully lugged Cromo with racing geometry, but the flip flop hub suggests a little more versatility.
Get on the blower now because $850 is a small price to pay for good pepper.
Fully lugged Taiwanese cro-mo tubing. Traditional racing frame with forged dropouts
There's some good cheap entry level raod bikes on the market, but when you look right over the entire package...well, some are more trouble than they're worth.
Then you have a dealer who has been holding out on a 2 year old toddler, with a buckets slashed off the price.
Look this baby over from top to bottom and then not the sale price. If you're still reading then you probably play lawn bowls or bingo!
Carbon fork, Shimano, Tektro, Alex and Michelin round out the package.
You know how we have vernacular for certain activities, like 'I'm going to "Hoover" the floor, "Windex" the glass, "Gerni" the driveway etc.
We've become accustomed to using brand names to describe a particular task.
The same goes for Canada when they talk about going for a road ride. It's more like going for a "CRD".
Norco created the CRD many moons ago and it has become an institution with our Commonwealth cousins. And it's no wonder.
Girls, you are in luck. We cornered the big head-softie @ Tippos Cycles pleading that there needed to be more specials for the fairer sex.
Clearly in touch with his feminine side, said big head-softie kindly coughed up the best entry level offer we've seen in months.
Hold onto that tax return, ladies. Forget the day spa - get into some funky cold Modena....
Thanks big head-softie....
Frame: Lightweight Double Butted 6061 Alloy. Women Specific Geometry
The Oppy A3 is built for the recreational and first time road rider with lightweight triple butted alloy frame, Shimano Sora groupset and Shimano RS10 wheels to give you the same speed, efficiency and design touches as the Oppy carbon series.
Now thanks to Tippos Cycles you have no excuse to sit and expand. This is a top entry level ride, and the price on offer is just insane.
Be quick on this and ride your own le Tour!
Frame: 6061 Triple Butted Alloy For...
When Kevin in accounts got a look at this one, he did his usual flip out! Threatening to leave the office now and travel to get this deal. Luckily we were able to sedate him before too much damage was done, and now one of you lucky buggers has the chance to score this impeccable deal.
Trek - Carbon - Carbon - 105 - 105 - 105 - 20speed - Bontrager - $2,399! That just doesn't make sense, so maybe the guys at The Bike Shack are short a few.
No introductions needed when it comes to one of cycling's most iconic brands. Trek is synonymous with professional racing world wide, but also they also cater remarkably well to the entry level casual rider.
The 1.1 road bike is a perfect example of form and function coming together at an affordable price.
Reliable parts tacked to a comfy frame is all you'll ever need for the fun sundays or commute to work.
We've been trauling the net looking for a better value ladies enduro roadie - but to no avail. For here it is!
Giant have been at the top of their game from what seems like decades, and the one category they pay particular dedication to is bikes for the fairer sex.
The 2010 Avail series is pointed squarely at the ladies out there looking not so much for a race bike, but a bike they can hop on alone, or with the coffee crew and tick through endless performance hours in comfort.
The all new 2011 MBC Carbon R1 Ultra features the best combination of performance, quality and reliability all for an unbelievable price. Included in the package is the new lighter 2011 European designed Carbon frame, full Shimano Ultegra 6700 SL 20 speed groupset and a Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheelset. Comparing to bikes costing $1000's more, the 2011 R1 Ultra is a must see for all road bike enthusiasts.
FRAME: Full carbon monocoque w/ internal cable routing
Excellent Value for money, We have limited stock of this 2010 Felt F85 road bike.

Mr. Fuji, Mr.Fuji - I've lost all my travelers cheques!
Ok, well it was Mr. Wong, and who uses travelers cheques these days, but one thing is for sure, the team @ Bike Bar might as well be locked up because they've certainly lost a little more than travelers cheques in this case!
We're talking $1,001 worth of madness that's been sliced of this diving Fuji SL1 rocketship in Medium (54cm)
C-4, SRAM Rival, Mavic Aksium, and so much more delivered at a price point that is certifiable.
Sheet! Kev in warehouse literally Pista his pantsa when this deal came through the net thingy....
The first we heard was that Kev had skipped the office and was on the next train to Grafton to pick up this track special.
Little does Kev know, he signed a waiver precluding him from taking advantage of these specials before you simple kin out there.
Ok you lard ass, trans-fat loving, sausage rapers.
Summer is here, and if we see one of you on the beach again, you're going straight back in. Blow hole or not, buddy!
Performance on a budget. Not possible? Think again, muchacho.
No need to introduce GT bicycle - the brand that forged it's place in history with the triple triangle, but who have also had some ownership juggling over the years.
None the less, the design principles have always remained true under the name. Innovative, functional, affordable and DAMN EXCITING. (Well that's what we think...)
The Captain has dropped his suspect trousers once again and wants you bean poles to ride away on this XL frame and save a tidy pocket load in the process.
Now here's a killer Xmas deal if ever we've seen one.
The ripping Pista Pro from Avanti in '08 guise with a hefty chunk of coin slashed off just for you, or the next guy if you're slow!
But you'll be quick if you know what's good for you - as this is a bike to do nothing but go quick on.
Utilising ADT which is Avanti proprietary design incorporating M.O.D.s, you get a frame that is design with brute force in mind.
The Captain has done it again, mateys!
For thousands of years Norco have been making some of the best kept secrets in cycling. In particular in the road bike scene.
We have it on good authority that Jesus was a team rider on an earlier version on the bike you see here - and look at the great heights it slung him.
Geometry fit for training aggessively on and even to be used as an an entry level race bike for you alloy old skools, the CRD1 packs enough punch at this weight to suit budding lycra-lover.
We just suggest dirching the JC's in favoor of clipless......
