About
Delightful Cycles is my opportunity to exercise the creativity and skills which go wasted in my day to day life in the legal profession.

Over the past 2 years DC has drawn all that I love together. It incorporates photography, cycling, creativity and getting my hands dirty. I enjoy breathing new life into machines that are dead or broken, and transforming them into something beautiful and useful. I enjoy the countless hours processing photos, uploading photos, creating webpages and eBay listings. Its my way of being part of the green movement, to get more people in Sydney, Australia and the world on bikes.

Thats all well and good. But what does it bring to you?

In short, getting lots more for much less. Delightful Cycles are more practical, prettier, better in quality and more value for money. Im an enthusiast, a connoisseur. The quality of a Delightful Cycle is nothing short of you’d expect from a professional bike seller, the only difference is that at this stage, I dont do it for the money. I dont charge by the hour. Thats not to say I dont appreciate money, I just dont make a living off of this. I do what I do because it makes me happy. There are only a few things that make me happier, or make me feel more privileged, than being involved in getting you on a bike.

That in the end makes you the biggest winner.

Mel’s Malvern Star “Vogue” Custom Mixte

This mixte was custom built with speed, weight and quality in mind. This is by far the most expensive build so far. But every dime invested has made a tremendous difference in the end in the way this bike feels. Its aggressive, light and fast; perfect for a good cardio workout.  

No fenders, racks, or any other non-sense to weigh this bike down. 

These Nitto Albatross bars feature an extra long handlebar grip area, all of which has been wrapped in soft cloth tape. The Tektro Reverse Brake Levers provide more leverage for harder braking which along with the Kool Stop brake pads make this bike incredibly responsive. 

Probably one of the heavier individual parts to this bike, the white leather saddle, once broken in, will be the most comfortable saddle this bike could be equipped with.

French Mafac Racer Centre-pull Brakes. 

A lot of money went into the drivetrain. It features matching SunTour Cyclone front and rear derailleurs which not only look sexy but weigh nothing and function superbly, speaking of which, the cranks are SunTour Superb, which are made of an extremely light forged alloy. 

MKS Road Quill Pedals, extremely lightweight and high quality part made in Japan.
