(they don't sell all brands overseas)

Jenson is fast, easy and very likely to incur you the proper charges (4% then plus VAT on the whole lot) for importing and a tenner or so for administrating the charge

yeah... just did the maths online and i reckon i would only save myself a couple of hundred at the most... bugger! hate the fact that there is such a mark up on some brands, niner frames in particular

I doubt they would sell you a NIner or SC due to restrictions on markets.

everything in the uk is bloody expensive! and its worth a shot to see if they will... re did the maths and saving a grand over all on frame and fork (including taxes) isnt to be sniffed at imo

I did about 10 years ago - just an xc Jamis frame, but it was so cheap that after their hefty dispatch price & tax I still saved money.

Efficient.
