Hi,
I am visiting Perth, when I used to live here the guys at cyclomania in north Perth used to deal with my bikes. I would like to find the mechanic if I can. I need some work done in the next day or two.
Failing that a good wheel guy would be good. I am 150kg so I do need someone very good. Road wheels.

Bookworm - you dont state WHEN you were last in Perth. I've been going to cyclemania for ten years, and I think he has been there for at least that long.
Cannot fault his wheel building and repair.

The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine.

Thanks everyone, I thought the place had closed down. I worked it out, it was about 1995.
I spoke to richard, very knowledgable guy and gave some great advice, if you are reading this, thank you very much, again.
Richard is not the guy I was actually after but more helpful in 5 minutes than the others I have dealt with. Would be interested out of curiosity to know what happed to the guy before Richard, I never met him but all I remember is he had some crazy diet, like all he ate was banana's or something.
Anyways, still happy to recommend cyclomania, they fitted me in at the last minute, gave good advice and fixed enough to get me going for a few days.
