I stumbled upon this deal while looking at the one posted by scotty: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/238295

I went into the Sydney store yesterday to look at it and ended up buying it. I took it for a burn this morning and am really happy with it. You won't complete the Tour de France on this bike, but it's a great starting point for the price and uses the Shimano Sora groupset, which is just below the enthusiast 105 series.

Frame Material 6061 Aluminium Alloy
Fork Reid Carbon Fibre
Gearing 27-Speed Shimano Sora
Crankset Shimano Sora Triple Chainring Alloy Crankset (30/39/50t)
Shifters Shimano Sora STI
Front Derailleur Shimano Sora
Rear Derailleur Shimano Sora
Brakes Tektro Dual-Pivot Caliper Brakes
Brake Levers Shimano Sora STI
Hub Quando Quick Release Race
Wheelset-Rim Alex DA16 Double Wall Alloy
Tyres Kenda 700 x 23c
Chain Shimano HG74
Freewheel/Cassette Shimano Sora 9-speed Cassette (12-25t)
Bottom Bracket Shimano Sora Hollowtech II
Handlebars Reid Alloy Race Bar
Stem Zoom Pro Alloy Race 1-1/8" A Head Threadless
Grips Reid Bar Tape
Saddle Velo

    How much extra are the pedals?

      Pedals came free with mine (bog standard flat ones), but I went in store.

    • furiousgeorge on 12/03/2016 - 12:43

      Pedals are free, but it's BYO spokes.

    You won't complete the Tour de France on this bike,

    Have a little perspective. This is better than most of the winning bicycles of Le Tour.
    What would Eddy Merckx have given to ride a bike like this?

      His winner's jerseys from the 11 grand tour races that he did win?

    OP went to look at a $149 bike but ended up buying a $599 bike? Didn't work well within your budget or just simply didn't have one?

      Realised that price and value are different things, probably.

    • revolutio on 14/03/2016 - 10:52

      Have been eying out bikes for both my girlfriend and myself. Feel free to troll elsewhere though.

    I'm interested in the Reid Granite, which is 10% cheaper on their eBay store, has anyone seen it or got any comments?

    • revolutio on 14/03/2016 - 10:55

      I wasn't looking at mountain bikes, sorry. :(

  • Brouw3r on 12/03/2016 - 13:57

    How do these compare?

      OMG. Very, very badly. Not sure who is the target market for that. High on bling, low on quality.

      • rapoot6 on 12/03/2016 - 18:01

        A 'friend' had one of these. There are heavier planets than this bike.

        • Tennessee Jack on 12/03/2016 - 18:44

          I would hazard a guess that all planets are heavier than this bike.

    • Ragnarok1983 on 12/03/2016 - 22:41

      Honestly if you want to get into cycling, goto gumtree and buy a 2nd hand bike from a reputable brand.

        problem with gumtree is finding your size and near where you live … and everybody seems to have paid RRP and are asking street price for a used bike.

        With reid, if they are handy, walk in, choose your size, test, if happy buy it.

        • Ragnarok1983 on 14/03/2016 - 13:16

          599 isnt cheap for an entrant level bike. You can get Specialized entrance level bikes for almost the same price for like 800, from local bike shops.

      Oh ha ha ha. This bike has absolutely nothing that you want. It's utter, utter junk. Even Google agrees with me: http://imgur.com/d4cVfgv

    Good deal. Any reason to wear the lycra.

    Last year's 105 Falco deal was very good, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/180513

    This deal is okay.

    • revolutio on 13/03/2016 - 11:31

      Wow, that was awesome.

    Try code "VIP" when checking out to get 10% off. I think it only works with non-discounted bikes but could be useful if you wanted one not on sale.
