    But it is damn pricey and it isn't made by Castelli.

    Yes, but if you wear it, you'll cycle suspiciously fast.

    Is the 'free shipping for a limited time only' message plastered all over the site a lie? Or just for within the US?

    You know how many people in the US are actually aware there is anywhere outside of the US, right? Its only slightly more than the number of people with passports.

    CP - you have email.
  • Bear in mind that Customs & Excise may take a slice too + delivery company 'admin' fee

    ah, suspected that was the situation.

    Anyone tried one of the companies that provide a US postoffice number and then ship goods from there? eg MyUS.com

    Why do you want to buy from a company associated with complete contempt for cycling's anti-doping regulations? Is that really the message you want to give out (along with "I can't fit any more tattoos on my body so I'll wear them on my clothes")?
