Hey

Just thought this would come in handy, just used it as buying a frame.

And for a $800.00 frame I would have to pay £200.00 vat and duty.

So if you are ever worried about costs you can work out if its cheaper here or there.

and dont forget the handling charge.

there is also a link in the tech links sticky to the customs site with the current infos.

I think its only 13.50 for items over 1000.00 and like 5.00 for items under.

Could be something like that dude. did not look too deep into it.

Least of my worries the handling charge.. LOL

I got to pay £140.00 for delivery. so lets hope it does not go too high eh!

fingers crossed for you, as you've been on about this frame for ages now Laughing

Is it going top be a swift build or will it take months like mine?

Yeh I have been a right pain in the @ss, thanks guys for being patient.

I have all the bits from my old bike, full xt kit and xt wheels.

Just want to buy some sids or rebas, then change over, so should be quite quick.

Will sell the rest including the FOX 32 F100RL's. but the outside right leg is scratched, only cosmetic, so should get a bit of money for them to fund the sids or rebas
