Capricorn Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 ZOMW. louis lives! yay! howzit going dude? where u been hiding?
DownhillingKing Posted January 4, 2010 Author Posted January 4, 2010 Cap have you ordered your new bars yet
Capricorn Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 No.. But since you gonna get something, can I tag along?? Spank me please
patches Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Two quick questions...1. How long does a CRC order usually take to arrive (I've got 2 orders coming in. 1 via Royal Mail, the other with Parcel Force)?(I'm guessing the 5-8working days is optomistic?!) 2. I'm starting to build up a freeride/DH bike (hence my first 2 CRC orders of parts and a new helmet). Haven't yet bought a frame, but wanting around 6-8" rear travel. In terms of forks, what frames can anyone think of off hand that can take a 1.5" steerer tube? Thanks
Capricorn Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Royal mail can take up to 2 weeks, same with parcelforce, depending on how long customs clutches your prezzies. in the period between justbfore christmas and after new year, things are definitely at a dead stop. My package ordered on the 23 of Dec 09 is still stuck in heathrow. yum. but it will get better. Tis the terrible season for shopping on line
DownhillingKing Posted January 4, 2010 Author Posted January 4, 2010 Well hopefully Jason will put the order through on the 7th will tell hiim to add those spank bars
Capricorn Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 thanks DHK. Please have Jason send me his bank details as well.?

Yeah I ordered a stem and bars on the 19th Dec, and a helmet on the 26th.I'm still cringing at what customs might rush me on duty  Darn the suspense!!
darnijl Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 if it was from crc, there are no import duties on parts and 25% import duties on helmets
patches Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 if it was from crc' date=' there are no import duties on parts and 25% import duties on helmets[/quote'] Cool, thanks for that. I'm guessing VAT applies to everything though. So I'll pay 14% on parts and 39% on the helmet?! Does that sound right?
DownhillingKing Posted January 4, 2010 Author Posted January 4, 2010 Why does everythinghave to take so long and now it taking longer because of all the holidays and things wheels are in island somewhere for some reason that I can't work out? Is CRC based in Island
Capricorn Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010  shorely yoo ment Ireland ole chap...   and yes, they are Irish. It's normal DHK. Last 2 weeks of December and First week of January are normally slower than a tortoise thru a field of peanutbutter. I just hope my stuff doesnt get lost en route, like when santan claws decides to reappropiate gifts... bar stewards!Capricorn2010-01-04 23:22:37
