New Pike for new Transition.... only fair.

 

[T-Bob]

and while we're at it and Chain reaction have started their crazy pre black Friday nonsense every Thursday... odd i know. 

 

A couple of funky western ridin' shirts to go with my new giddy up suspension! 3 ordered @ £14 a pop (74% off) with free delivery. Gold. 

 

Now all in need is that IXS trail helmet and I should be good for a week or so!

Please excuse me for posting this here but I just want to confirm

 

Buying from chain reaction I'm going to pay duty and vat at the post office right?

 

And what is the duty ? Also is that paid ontop of vat ?

 

No I am not buying clothing. Thnaks.

Yes, but I'd advise you to use DHL to ship. Far easier.

 

Clothing is 40%

Helmets 30

Full bikes 15

Parts 0

 

Then VAT is calculated on the order value plus duties ex shipping plus 10% so works out at 15.4% of the post duty goods value

These charges can also get quite 'fluid' if you're shipping via normal post. I've been nailed for crazy fees on parts that are free of extras because the person assessing has marked a bike part down as a car part. I tend to ship via Aramex, DHL or the old friend n family courier service. (Ps if Lexx is listening, I don't.. honestly).

I realized that I haven't bought new road cycling kit in over 3.5 years and I spend quite a bit of time on the road so thought I will go all out

 

(One of the last 2 are water resistant. One for 3hours, 5hours and 6+ hours.)

Picked this up from Amazon. Came in at about 3k. That's a win in my book

This is why:

Had to use panorama setting to fit it in.

 

Waiting for captain's pedals. Doubt they'll be colour coded like the stoker's. But he want Shimano.

 

And 55mm deep section carbon hoops on their way.
