Torpedo 7 have 15% off if you find an "EGG" in their website - If you want to find one there is one on the base layers page - Dsend baselayer set.

If you don't want to find on the code is "Easter 15". It is good till 10/04/2012. :D
Not fast, no style, but still get there.

I was forwarded this which may be of interest - and proceeds to a good cause.

The Oatley Park Fun Run is an event on April 22 in Sydney - and they have bids for prizes including 10x$50 for The Bike Shed Mortdales. The Race Director (Patrick) told me that last year some of these went for as little as $20... so could be a good buy, with proceeds going to charities such as Cerebral Palsy Alliance & 1st Oatley Scouts.

They are accepting online bids online: www.oatleyfunrun.com

Hi,

Not a big fan of Cycling Express myself, but today is only the third working day since Easter - not an unreasonable wait surely?

I ordered an Azzurri Forza Elite from them and it was expected to arrive yesterday (Thursday) but now it's coming on Monday.

So I called up the courier company (TOLL IPEC) and asked what's the deal?

They said they were backlogged because of Easter. So to be fair, it's out of Cycling Express' hands.

Though I'm still disappointed -- really wanted to ride my bike this weekend but now have to wait till Monday.

If you want someone to blame - blame Jesus. :D

So I would have then posed the question am I able to pick it up in person. I've been in a situation where I had a bike at a depot, arrived on a Friday and wasn't delivered on the Monday so I gave them a ring. Turns out they had a breakin, so I quickly got them to check it was there and not stolen and asked if I could pick it up.

Yeah that's what I wanted to do too. But not worth it because the depot is a 2hour drive for me.

Ahh I don't mind, I've got my friend's 10-year old Klein single-speed MTB to ride.

Ah big difference, the depot was 5-10mins from work for me so not far at all.

$40 discount off purchases of more than $275 at CRC.

thing that annoys me a little about CRC is that they offer these1good discounts then in small print have a on orders over $275 or something in a smaller font, why not just have a 15% or 20% discount then more customers could get the discount & therefor more happy customers ?

I'm still fairly new to this but how does the RS10 compare to the R500?

Greetings Galactictuan,
Dont know a lot about these wheels myself, but have read somewhere here, that if you, like me, are not a lightweight, (over 90kg), they may not be your best option...
The 500's have made some friend here... there is a couple of wheel threads going here and in the commuting section that may provide more info..
