Melbourne bike shops

I'm in Melb next weekend, any suggestions for bike shoppin'?

google - chainringtransitauthority, mostly based melbs, have a great time

aint they in SYD?

I want some tips when you get back!

i haven't been home for ages.

but isn't fyxomatosis based there

melbourne bicycle centre, has always been an awesome general bike store, they're in clifton hill

delta yeah but some good links and info

thanks...yar, just been checkin it. think fyxomatosis is just web, no bricks n mortar

send andy an email, sure you could check-out what he has or other recommendations

BTW - You just missed this ride...

YouTube - Melburn Roobaix 2009

Although looks like a lot of people getting lost!

reminds me how much i don't miss having to wear a helmet and stopping at red lights. aus police are very very strict and you will get fined very quickly.

wish that happened here...we just have the TDU!

No real good shops here unfortunately. Spoke(n) on Carlisle st in St Kilda East aint bad, but they're right old grumpy c*nts.

Otherwise BSC is worth a look. http://www.bscbikes.com.au/bsc2/

Most of the fixed crews mostly have an online presence, Fyx and Shifter Bikes et al.

If it's geared you're after, The Freedom Machine gets my vote.

frames?

Depends where you are..

www.totalrush.com.au (Mick's brother)
http://www.melbournebicycle.com.au (bought my trials bike here)
http://www.vicmtb.com.au/ Mick & bro used to run this, bought my hardtail here

Mates have posted good things about http://www.abbotsfordcycles.com.au/public/index.php

strange though, melbs should be pumping with all that shit, I'd expect it to be, it has one of the best bmx shops in the world!!

dan at shifterbikes has a 'shop' in Carlton. Mail him and ask nicely.
Fyx is just andys house but you can mail him and ask.
Fixed.org.au has a forum with classifieds. Should be able to get something nice.
Kenevans. Paconi and hillman are all nice old Aussie builders.

awesome!

Hillman reminded me of http://www.hillbrick.com.au/

go to dairy lee ice-creams and get an awesome sunday

also go for a ride up to the dandenongs

Baum do bling mtbs and now road bikes, Kennedy are kinda like cyclefit over here, Thylacine were doing trials frames not sure if they still operate.. more here..

A mates store.

Not strictly a bike shop but do get some stuff in from time to time.
It the meeting place for the Cranky Sundays crew.

5 stars 'generally' don't just pop up.. though there was a chick on aus.bicycle who found one..
