Sourcing bikes was murder in OZ, truly,,, what i found,,, some bike shops must be struggling.
i believe anyone in business in this age that can't acknowledge with a smile or a positive approach is either hurting or
just a grumpy ****.
i found walls everywhere. yes fat bike sales have dropped or probably never really peaked here
so demand is low. some Big companies like Giant Scott and Trek also they have local shops here all have stopped fat models in OZ.
others like Surly Rocky mountains Cannondale Norco and others have very limited or zero stock. yes phoned & walked into shops spoke with people that once realised a sale couldn't happen i was dropped. Buy Australian help Australian jobs PFffffffttttttt
so i went to Canyon great name in bikes great reviews with a setup that stops the middleman (some Grumpy pricks)
straight from Germany to you with a Canyon service centre in Australia.
i wish i could of purchased one made in OZ or an Oz sale but that was never happening at a competitive price.
+ I've learnt that there is another sad occupation in Australia other than a Post office owner and Caravan park owner.
You could have stopped the Queenslander reno and built your own fat bike.
Actually you could have built us all fat bikes in that time
my brother just got a Harley Softail Slim for 10k perfect con 11ks on the clock.
i told him you know that's steeling.
The comical thing about Harley riders is the average schmos who do the whole dress up as a lookalike outlaw badass 1%er biker look replete with the scary skull face bandana and half helmet! If they ever got into a scuffle the onlookers would be calling them an ambulance rather than the cops.
this guy is funny as watched a few of his videos a couple of years ago.gotta hand it he loves chains.
his videos show his commitment + some great info.
love this email i just received.
