I raced for Croydon Cycle Works. Mick's a legend!
I bought my PlanetX Zebdi off a guy who worked at Melbourne Bikes. Don't remember going to there shop except for an emergency spoke replacement for my MTB once.
My old coach works for Cycle Science on Maroondah Hwy so I'll pop in and see him if I ever make it back to Oz. I bought some touring kit off them before he started there. Good guys.
There's a shop in the city I quite liked too.. um.. Cecil Walker cycles, that's it. They have lots of older steel frames, quite helpful, etc.
There's BikeLife (I think) in Hawthorn/Camberwell. They were close to where I worked and the guys were always really helpful (like letting me raid their bin for freewheel spacers for my singlespeed project).
The shop near Richmond Stat. that stocks all the old stuff?? I never really went there but friends did and they loved it.
Bicycle Recycle is cool to browse for old bikes (well, duh!)
Yeah, my parents were complaining about the cold. I'd rather have a freezing winter and hot summer than a miserable 12 months though (yes, I'm talking to YOU London!)
