Ms Spanner fancies a Portland, but it would appear that Trek has decided not to import them to the UK for next year - it's in the [url= http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/ ]USA brochure[/url], in the road and urban sections, but not in the [url= http://www.trekbikes.com/uk/en/ ]UK one.

She wants to buy from our local bike shop, which she trusts, so alternatives such as the Salsa Vaya/Kona Sutra aren't really viable.
Couple of questions:
1. Should a Trek main dealer be able to get hold of one for her?
2. Surely Trek are missing a trick here? This years bike got great reviews and it appears to fit neatly into the 'next big thing' road bikes/light tourer with discs category?
Yes, we will contact the shop and ask them ourselves, just wondered what others thought and whether anyone has had any experience of importing a non UK Trek.
