Dubber Posted September 24, 2019 Share This thread use to be very active. See there is not a lot of movement on it anymore. People stop building Chinese bikes or are they just not posting about it anymore? I do not see many Chinese bikes on rides?Possibly the Rand/Dollar has made it less attractive. I think when the thread started it was around R1/$9 ? I've just finished building a gravel bike - but I'm paying US $, not Rands.

JohanDiv Posted December 16, 2019 Share My wheels also came this week from Taiwan. R960 for customs clearance. Seller split the costs $350 for wheels and $200 shipping. Customs was just charged on the $350. I was expecting to pay closer to R1500 for customs. Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alouette3 Posted December 16, 2019 Share VAT is normal on imports, then a standard handling fee.Duties should not apply to bike parts, but only to complete bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bos Posted March 13, 2020 Share I Ordered my frame during Jan and it got here 24th of Feb. I was so happy to see that box! At that stage there were only a number of cases outside of China, but the factory in china didn't go back to work after Chinese New year.  There she is.  Mongoose!, Tatt, Renier82 and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
