Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Hey guys, need some help. Thought this would be the best place to ask. Wanting to buy some sidi shoes from Ebay. Any one know what the import duties are that i could expect? thanks More knowledgable guys can comment but with clothing you have the 40% import tax and then the additional 15.4% VAT.Sometimes it is not worth buying clothing and importing it unless it is labelled as something else which is illegal.
Carbon Junky Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Please write a review on the frame please
nochain Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Tubbies(claimed) = 1390gClinchers(claimed) = 1630g carbonspeedcycle Hey Meezo, I am looking at these wheels also from carbonspeedcycle. http://www.ebay.com/itm/321190611439 Just a question or 2. Did you also buy from ebay? Was Postage a problem? What service will be used when they land here in SA? Also what are you guys inputs on 21mm,23 or 25 wheels? And the U shape design that these have? Is it not better to buy straight from a hongfu or dengfu? Thanks
Reg Lizard Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) So I get back from my morning ride yesterday and no sooner am I back than my local post office phone me to say one of my packages has arrived for collection... that's a first the local po phoning me Finally my frame had arrived which was shipped end of September..... unfortunately my shifters for the build coming from the UK are still somewhere in the SAPO system, so the build cannot proceed yet !! The frame and parts took so long to come due to the strike... and as am off the the UK in 2 weeks have decided to upgrade from Ultegra 11spd to Dura Ace.... so will do some shopping whilst there and bring back the upgrades as hand luggage As for the frame, packaged very well and no damage, great quality and finish, came complete with headset and spare cable guides for the possible future upgrade to DI2. First thing I checked after the once over of the frame for any damage or defects was the internal routing... all clear if a little tricky to do. Very happy with the frame and looking forward to the build, even if this is now going to be after my trip to the UK when I bring back the upgrade I guess I can now call this a Christmas present from me to me Pics of the frame as deliveredDSCI1848.JPG UnpackedDSCI1849.JPG On the CouchDSCI1852.JPG Overall LookDSCI1853.JPG Goodies for the buildDSCI1856.JPGNice Edited December 1, 2014 by Reg Lizard
