    If the European market is anything to go by there won't be many...... all Trek bikes have to be collected from the shop as part of the retailer's contract

    When Lemond was part of Trek I tried to get a Ti Victoire frame mailed to me from a shop in Cali - no dice.

    Go on a holiday and bring it back. I used to run a rather profitable side line of picking up bikes for friends and bringing them back when I was working for a while in toronto and flying there every 2 weeks.

    You can claim back the local sales tax. On the subject of tax - in North America it's added post purchase so factor state sales tax in before you blow your load over a cheap deal.

    It won't be covered by any Trek UK warranty.

    Unlikely that any US dealers would want to hack off Trek by selling abroad and cutting across Trek UK.

    A few years ago I was after a Bianchi accessory from the US that the European distributor didn't even list, no deal. Wouldn't even discuss it. And I would guess that Trek will be even stricter.
