30% on a full bike, really, not 15%? I dont import bikes so wasn't 100 sure on the duties issue. So i'll put my hand up there. But don't be a prick and tell someone they don't know what they talking about. Tell me Johnny, do you know what FOB stands for and how it relates to the price you pay at factory door versus the price you land it at? Please, PM me your thoughts as I'm sure everyones tired of all this. Im trying to support this guys brand and you're being a cock telling everyone to just import their own. Whatever mate.
is it worth importing (minimum quantities for lower prices) only to make R2k profit? I doubt bikes are landing, duty paid, for R5.5k. At 30-40% duties, you saying that full carbon bike frames are FOB R4k? seriously doubt that. Not sure how you getting bikes into the country, but there is a lot more to a landed cost thatn just the factory FOB. Anyway, I like the bikes and will continue to support them as these frames in a shop would be R15-R20k!
Congratulations then I guess, still, no need to tear a brand down when someone asked for opinions on Black Spade, then you advise them to buy their own no name one from China.
Or I dont have the time, nor an international courier account, nor international banking option, to import 1 bike frame for myself. So no, its not bull***t. Be careful about referring to someone as being a hussler, i doubt thats what hes doing, unless of course you know how much he's landing the bikes for exactly.
Johnny Bravo - This forum is about opinion on Black Spade. If you want to punt your own brand, start your own post. Don't knock guys trying to get a brand up and running. You say you are sick of inflated prices, but then knock a brand that's trying to compete against the known names. It may be cheap to import your own bike, but the logistics and effort are not worth it. I think the BS bikes are great and the fact they offer customisation makes them unique compared to just "another import". I for one am a fan of the brand and have spoken to them and they say they want to offer more accessories and clothing as well so they not just about making a quick buck, they in it for the long haul. We should support them, not knock them down.
Finally got my hands on the Whasp Protein Gel and man what a difference.Took it today and had a stormer of a race..felt great at the end which was a first.Taste was close enough to custard as I was told the PeptoPro has a real mule-kick on its own in terms of bite. Thanks for the effort pornstar (you persuaded me to try move from GU and I aint going back now). I recommend anyone to try it.Its about time we get a unique product out there. Rock on!
Why do people criticise this product,I mean its bigger and contain more effective ingredients than the competition yet folks say its expensive.More carbs than Vooma,more in the product than GU,yet fear remains in the potential users. What were your thoughts the first time you tried GU? try it..yes KIWI isnt everybodies cup of tea but I would still be lying in a ditch next to the road if I didnt have them on hand..Lving it!
The Whasp Protein Gel is gonna rock out..been waiting for it for while.Dont think the price is gonna matter,if you consider you can buy the Pepto-Pro alone for higher serving price and its just awful to injest.
