Hi all

Has anyone imported Lapierre or Trek bike interested in the zesty 314 or ex8

Came across this site but $1200 dollars seems to good to be true even with imprt tax of 14% and vat on top

http://www.rollite.net/

Does any one know any good places to import from and do you actually save anything think my limit is £1700 but could strech by another 100 for one of these if i had to. or actually if anyone knows if you can buy one from anywhere in the uk for around this mark.

    If it looks to goods to be true then it normally is.

    I'd stick to buying form GB mate. Unless you buy direct from Canyon or a couple of the euro online shops
    Bianchi. There are no alternatives only compromises!

    Ive bought BMX stuff from online US shops like dans comp and coloured tuffs, And in general ive paid about 40% less than uk prices

    I think both times i had to pay 25 pounds on collection. But some shops in the us will make out that its a warranty job which supposedly means you get away with the tax

    If I ever manage to brake Zesty and if I would replace it with similar bike it would be Yound Talent industries -Wicked- model, or something burlier obviously.

    Mind you, geo wise it's very similar to Zesty. Bezt ze german value bikes !
    Cube and Canyon are so 2010.

    I'll choose not put too much stake into someone's opinion who is admittingly terrible though
