of $35 Australia wide.
Bikes are shipped using Startrack Express or Australia Post,
some assembly is required once received and can be done using a basic BMX tool kit and bike pump.
We provide an optional pre-service bike build to
dramatically cut down on the assembly and prolong the life of your bike, which
can be added at the checkout.
