I like the look of those Spesh's ton - fancy a group buy?

Spesh do quite a range of 29ers but only available if you live over the pond. Unless you know someone who a retailer out there can ship it to in the USA and then they send it on to you

Could On-One do something?
They ship a lot out to the States.Posted 2 years ago # -

Like import Specialized bikes from the US...? Perhaps they could then have a special offer on shooting 'emselves in the collective foot.

i looked into getting a fsr 29er from the usa but decided against it as the duty would amount to about 21%
did find a really helpfull dealer though who was prepared to dirty a new bike up and sell it as a demo to keep the (stated) value down.
I decided to stick to an on one 29er SS
gears are so last season.

Id contact spesh UK and find out how many it would take for them to get some stock in with there next shipment and if you could go direct to them.

When I did a google chopping search they were coming up in Germany. Nearer than America and less complictaed to import from
Actually says free uk delivery if you click on a bike
Damn mainly 09 bikes except the carbon one.......

21% - wrong
9.5% duty/vat on a £770 Big Mama on top of shipping of £57 which included a fork of £348. UK frame price £1400

nige, how would we go about it.
the one on ebay is too big by the way.................never thought i would ever be able to say that about a bike...

Ha Ha Ha
2 options - find a friendly dealer or get someone over there to buy for us (if we need to get around a Spesh dealer policy) and then send on, which involve various options again

the german shop will not sell spesh's online.....
Posted 2 years ago # -
That's a shame. I think that's what you're up against. Perhaps we need to exhaust that option 1st?

i know a spesh dealer quite well.
i will have a word with him tomorrow, and see what he can suggest.Posted 2 years ago # -
@bonesetter
value of bike + post + duty + VAT
so i was told.
Posted 2 years ago # -
They're in the shops here in NZ, you could get a freindly someone to send "your old bike" back to you?

I have a 23" Spesh Rockhopper 29er and i love it. Mine was only £750 and was a damn sight better specced than the one going on ebay. That one is waaaaay overpriced.
I got mine last xmas from the local Spesh Concept Store but it would seem that they aren't importing them this year which i think is a shame as i thought it was the best value 29er around at the time. Evans sold them but no idea how many they had. I've found a few around 2nd hand but not many. There is a 17" and 19" for sale at the moment that are ex demo for £500.
If i knew how to i'd post a pic of the Spesh.
It was me who imported the Big mama as well and the duty was far better than anticipated. Although i'm told the duty on a full bike is far higher than that for bike parts.

I could probably manage it Ton, but a little research on pricing/exchange rate and freight would be in order.
Some strategy to make the bike look used too? Worn tyres fitted?Posted 2 years ago # -
sounds like a good idea..
any shops i should try??Posted 2 years ago # -
Called the LBS, All sold out on 2009, although there's a 19", and 17" Rockhopper left at $1800NZD.(about 800quid- no pound sign!)
Only the Hardrock is available as 29 for 2010

mate, been searching for the last 2 hours..
it is a fruitless task....... thanks for the offer of help.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Ton if you don't mind me asking why do you specifically want a Spesh 29er ?
Just interested to know really

I got one from Williams Cycles in Cheltenham.
It has since been stolen tho. Posted 2 years ago # -
Ooh, sorry to hear that James.
I hear that Ton really, REALLY wants one, so it might have been him that robbed it, like.
