Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 you would be better off if he sent the wheels in a separate shipment or not at all so that you do not have to pay the full import duties on a whole bike. Or rather just the h/bars, seatpost and saddle maybe as these would work out cheaper to ship vs wheels.Only problem then is the UK VAT @20% popcorn_skollie 1

popcorn_skollie Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Hairy makes a good point and I'm wondering why i havn't thought of it.After all is said and done. When we look at the bikes that don't reach our shores.Its really just the frame we want isn't it Edited February 11, 2015 by popcorn_skollie trail - er - park, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Bizkit031 3
Eddy Gordo Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 in the case of the commencal, they can keep the wheels and the brakesthe kona well, I would be happy as it is
popcorn_skollie Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 in the case of the commencal, they can keep the wheels and the brakesthe kona well, I would be happy as it is Look I know how you feel about the process. It would be my first choice too.But the sx really isn't a compromise. Where as the rest of your (realistic) choices are.The trigger? Cmon we both know you don't want that.I'm looking for a car at the moment. So yesterday a friend of mine had one of his dealers deliver a car for me to check out. The car is everything I want at an unbeatable (favour for a friend) price. I loved the drive. But I think I'm going to tell him no because I don't like the colour.Point is, either way you slice it. you gonna have to wait.Might aswell wait for what you really want. My personal choice in order of preference.Process, Rune, SX Bizkit031 and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
Bizkit031 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Evil may be releasing 650b compatible swingarms for the uprising. No dedicated 650b bike in the works yet.I am looking at a Following very closely but Shipping is ridiculous and might kill the deal..... the Following is $2600 for the frame but not sure on shipping

MoreTrails Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) What is the price on a Rune?Chat to Dirt Merchant or Fade to Black, they will be able to answer that question. It is an awesome bike...been "nicknamed" at times an aluminium Nomad. Loves the steeps and the DH.Rode the Spitfire as well, a more suited bike to SA IMO. Climbs well and descends as well as the Rune, in a lighter package. Edited February 11, 2015 by MoreTrails Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
