Eddy Gordo Posted August 3, 2020 Share Geez, I got a little distracted as the Nicolai guys got back with the super customised light weight Ti bike with bling to match my parts and significantly cheaper less expensive I'm holding steady and going with the UnnoYeah, those Nicolais are something else. I dont think anyone has one here.Also dont forget about vat and customs duties when your frame arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 3, 2020 Share so it looks done, me Morne and Steffmeister are going to be Unno braai buddies Lynskey aside, no one was very helpful from stores to brands. The guy at Unno was so anal wanting pics of my bikes then googling them himself, making me weigh each ball. I lied about my weight it must be said which is naughty but I will fix that on my end Not only were they super cool but they were really enthusiastic and put together a great deal. My budget which was generous, has not been exceeded.Bruuuuuuuuuu!!!! We're expecting a solid build diary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne pudding Mol Posted August 3, 2020 Share Bruuuuuuuuuu!!!!

Wayne pudding Mol Posted August 3, 2020 Share Yeah, those Nicolais are something else. I dont think anyone has one here.Also dont forget about vat and customs duties when your frame arrives.The vat can’t be avoided but it can be moderated - I’ve ignored duties so as not to scare myself off this irresponsible purchase - need to investigate this bit - I know euro parts normally avoid duties - will check on frames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just full bikes. Only thing you'll need to consider is the ATV which essentially ups the VAT to 16.5% Edited August 3, 2020 by Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORNE Posted August 3, 2020 Share Also...unless you have a import license, you might draw some attention from SARS as im pretty sure this will push you over the R50k/3 per calender year sllowance on your ID number?

MORNE Posted August 3, 2020 Share I do have an import licensethen you are obviously fine...just VAT and whaever the courier charges you to clear at customs as per Mr captain fatbastard. MY bike frame came from he US and there were no import duties on it either. I have the cycling section of the SARS document somewhere but it eludes me now.

DieselnDust Posted August 4, 2020 Share Yeah, those Nicolais are something else. I dont think anyone has one here.Also dont forget about vat and customs duties when your frame arrives. No duties on frames as its a component. May have a bit of trouble with the clearance if its >R50K. Nothing someone with an importers license can't help out with.And if you pay a 50% deposit and the following month the balance then you should get around that rule too Edited August 4, 2020 by DieselnDust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
