Stray Cat Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 So im working in France and I was thinking of taking advantage of CRC (as I would not have to pay postage costs or any duties) to get a few things for my bike whilst I am here The thing is Im not sure what to get cos im not the most technically minded individual when it comes to bike components etc So i was thinking of maybe getting a garmin edge 500 and maybe a new seat post, stem, handle bars etc to A) Make my bike lighterB) bling it out a little Is there anything else I should consider getting? I have 2010 Merida 96 3000D full sus and I wouldnt mind helping here shed a few kilos Thanks guys
bontie Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Parts don't carry duties anyway. You'll pay VAT at a higher rate than SA, so essentially you'll be saving shipping only... Think carefully before going overboard and shooting yourself in the foot.
CAAD4 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Buy clothing, a helemt and shoes. Those all attract hefty duties. The rest is generally affordable from CRC to here if you get free shipping.
gummibear Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Have a look first at the local shops.withsome of the sales you may get it cheaper. Just buy a new bike
