DieselnDust Posted July 2, 2022 Posted July 2, 2022 19 hours ago, Sidmouth said: short term you dont, but after a good night they still want to go out till 4am Finding these racy models in a night club is a bad idea. 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! ChrisF and Sid the Sloth 2
Sidmouth Posted July 4, 2022 Author Posted July 4, 2022 Anyone ever buy a bike on Merlin Cycles looks promising DieselnDust 1

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

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).

Maybe worth waiting for that... https://road.cc/content/tech-news/movistar-races-new-canyon-ultimate-294169 I reckon it will be out soon.

I saw a Colnago C64 not that long ago at Seattle in HB. It was a beautiful blue. Google says the colorway is called Art Decor. It was so unbelievably beautiful. For me It was the best looking bicycle I've ever seen. And possibly the best looking 2 wheeled anything I've ever seen. It was so utterly beautiful that if I owned it I don't know if I could bring myself to actually ride it. Edited July 6, 2022 by Duane_Bosch Sid the Sloth, ChrisF and DieselnDust 3
