Whaaaaaaaat?

What do you expect a HT frame to weigh? All the 21" I've seen so far have been under 1,250g, I suppose you get what you pay for.

Will send in a week or two when I receive it. Should have ordered a couple of rigid forks and smokkel them here on thehub come to think of it. Shipping is a killer though 1600 ronds

Any import Duties? I'm keen on the Aero TT bars. Plus what's shipping for an item that "small" (if you have a rough idea)?

Duties, normal so vat plus fees. I normally work it out on 15.4%.

 

Depends on who you deal, different of these sellers have different shipping charge.

Hopefully none, but that is a different conversation...bargaining on a couple of hundred bucks ito import duties.

 

Might be a good idea to do a group buy on the hub(bars, forks, posts, stems, cages) as shipping can be a killer.

That looks bloody nice! I like that 'inboard' brake caliper mount idea at the rear

Yea, but also I like the fact that the rear brake cable routing is still outside, some of the other frames have it internally. Also lekker light and the geometry is almost a hybrid between my emd and santa cruz's highball. Look it might be a total dog, but I won't know if I don't try. Depending how this goes I might bring in more carbon stuff from china.
