Currently in Rarotonga and heading back to Auckland this week, I didn’t bring my mtb out to NZ and am thinking of buying one here (as opposed to hiring for a week or so) and taking it home after. Any recommendations? Anyone know someone selling? (Pref large and 140ish full suss).

I’ll be in Rotorua next weekend so will check out the bike shops and ex demos, etc.

Trade me and facebook group, NZ MTB sales, are the best options, bikes tend to be dearer than the UK for a second hand bike though.

I saw some mint retro stuff going for peanuts on trademe when I was out there

Also, Vorb I think has a classifieds?

Thanks I’d forgotten about vorb.

If you get there before finding anything try Ed @ planet bike or bike culture as they seem to know what’s going on
