Seeing as the ZX3 got bike of the year a couple of years ago. Does anyone ride one and is it worth importing a frame over from the US?

    Even though I've not ridden one, I've signed up for the group buy on the 2008 ZX3...bit of a gamble, but the frame looks excellent and the geometry is good for me. There are also a lot of happy customers on bikeforums.net that took part in the last group buy for the RS frame. If it works out at $500 for the frame I recon your looking at about œ370 (frame only) to your door inc P+P customs etc...which looks a good deal to me.

    I noticed that and on the Roadbikereview forums they were talking $800 for fork/frame and post I think, which with the weakness of the dolloar is excellent value. Everyone seemed really please with the group buy I just don't know I have that much money.

    I've got the QS2 (I think that's the right designation). It's the slightly more relaxed/sportive geometry. Great bike, really stiff, well made and excellent value. I paid around œ500 for frame, forks & seatpost, including delivery to a US address. I collected it and brought it over. I'd certainly buy another, and with the dollar/sterling exchange rate, it's even better value now.

    Did you use the ordinary parcel post service Gimmer, or DHL, and how long did it take?

    I've got an RS bought on a groupbuy,waitin for bits to put it together.Got Frame and forks for $550.Sent to US address and sent on to me as a ''GIFT''which I suppose it was for that money!
    Pedal Force were fine to deal with too.

    Hi justyn
    I had it sent to mrs johnno's sister who sent it on to me here in Ireland,regular US Post I believe.As Far as i remember there is a place on the pedal Force site where they give the different rates etc.Oh yeah, now that I remember,thay sent me the forks separately,direct to Ireland.That cost $18.00 .Talk to Ming,he/she is very helpful.
