I would not recommend Cell bikes. They don't support the club, and as their name implies, they are more interested in a sale than service. I live around the corner from them, and can walk to their shop, but they will still charge me delivery fees, even if I want to walk in and pick up the item. If you walk in to Cell bikes, I very much doubt you will get the same price on items that their website says.

There are quite a few bike shops that support the club. I would talk to them first. They look after you when they know they are dealing with a DHBC member. Once you factor in postage, and "club discount" I doubt you will pay any more than Cell bikes from any of them.

I would suggest any of ...
Bundy
Mick Mazza
Ashfied
CyclefitCentre
Stanmore (probably)

City Bike Depot will also look after you well if you say you are from DHBC.

Toff and Mikesbytes - you are both too cryptic for Wallaby who is new. :roll:

Please explain yourselves.

Thanks Tim,

Forgot Burwood Cycles. Think I got Ashfield and Burwood confused. Burwood have definitely supported the club in the past. They sponsored the DHBC Metro Masters Champs a few years ago.
