Yep notice a lot of their stuff comes from that direction. 3 orders from them in the last year and all the same.
Also they seemed to have copped a shimano geoblock but now selling shimano (albeit at slightly higher prices) again?

Now over two weeks without movement.Bits ordered late Thursdee night Melbourne time, so around lunchtime in Germany. Despatched same day, only to end up in bloody Frankfurt.....
By contrast, ordered a seatpost to match the other bits on Thursdee just gone from a mob called Deporvillage in Spain. That package is already in Singapore. At this rate I'll see it before the other stuff that was ordered two weeks prior!

Around A$50, which seems pretty standard from Europe these days.

It's good to have another burner keep an eye on your deliveries

All good mate, my biggest message is for all you blokes out there to get your PSA and bowel tested.I shouldn’t laugh at that. Get that sorted and be back riding asap.
If I can save ONE man... my mission of putting my personal shit out there is accomplished.

Just don't make me laugh, fart, reach, hiccup... the prostate has a small sphincter that does the work for you... I will have to use my pelvic floor muscles after the op. Which is what we use now, just not for that involuntary grab... which means a wet spot occasionallysome sort of low-profile internally fitted plug and a c-clamp should help you avoid any whoopsies

My last Bike24 in November was 17 days to the door. 5 of those were in Aus.
Strange how things have changed since my boys stopped riding. That was my last German order... previous 5 yrs there was one every 3-4 weeks.
Due a couple of bits soon though
