yes. as i explained previously, if you are buying as foreigner, you do not get charged the VAT rates applicable to the UK< which is 17.5% IIRC.

 

So yes, it's VAT free from CRC's perspective, but you get nailed when it lands here.

why you asking??

Hi

 

A question,...

To make going up the hills/mnts easier - are there double chainring set ups?

I have a specialised big hit 1 2008 running a Truvativ Ruktion, 170mm w/ SBC chain guide..

I was hoping that I could add a second smaller chain ring and front derailer.. shifter setup - is this possible?

 

In 1998 I rode a DH Giant - had triple chainrings......
