I recall the parent teacher meeting a few years ago was a very tense 20min as it required more concentration than an FTP test . The grade R teacher pool at my daughters school would have been a good place to start looking. Smoking hot, intelligent patient, can hold a decent conversation and too tired after work to think about night clubs and always looking forward to a glass of wine!

Customs was a problem though as they ant ed to slap something like 30% duty on the bike. Now you may be asked to produce an import permit because the value is over R50k. Its worth checking the customs and excise regs before you type in the CVC number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you may be asked to produce an import permit because the value is over R50k. Its worth checking the customs and excise regs before you type in the CVC number Yeah, it should be 15% duty (complete bikes) and (1.15 * 1.1 * 0.15) = 18.975% VAT (15% of 110% of the value after adding duties). Although if you're lucky they sometimes don't apply the duty and then it's only 16.5% VAT (as above just assuming 0 duties). Your mileage might vary trying to import it using your ID number rather than an importers code although getting an importers code is pretty quick and easy (fill in a few forms, go to a customs office and then wait a week or so was my experience).

Great bike. The build quality is insane too. I do think they may be releasing a new one soon if that is not it? Maybe worth waiting for that... https://road.cc/content/tech-news/movistar-races-new-canyon-ultimate-294169 I reckon it will be out soon.
