ask Lexx, but ×1.33 should get you to a not materially misstated answer.

For $300 delivery it makes no sense.

 

How so? try getting a quote from one of the big courier companies. Make sure you're sitting though.

It would have been good news if they were bringing bikes over and not shipping bikes one by one.

Looks like 26.25% duty

Then add 14% VAT on top the price, including the shipping.

 

Base price looks pretty good, but add in other costs and it looks less inviting.  Better to fly over to Europe and pick one up, get it a bit muddy and bring it home.

Oh dear...

 

Looks like shipping is USD299. Not too awful.

Canyon indicated closer to $500 a couple of weeks ago when I enquired.

It was $495, then someone at Canyon went to ask and it became $299...

Yeah, I get that too but Canyon are mail order only. That's their business model. Seems to work for them

I wonder if it's because Willie Smit is now riding them that they feel there is a market in SA ....

Make sure you use DHL, you'll get slapped with penalties as well when they don't advise on customs requirements in certain countries (not that I'm still annoyed at them for doing this to us last week )

Who is Willie Smit, and why would I ride a Canyon because of him?

Perhaps the guy riding Canyon since you've shown an interest in it.?

[Cippo]

It would be advisable to only buy the framest (which includes seatpost and integrated handlebar/stem) therefore no duties.

Frame: $3219 (39030)

Postage: $169 (2050)

Vat + handling: R3718

Total : R44798

I agree, HE switched, whoever he is, because I posted that I want one.
