    Why on earth would you want to buy a bike from America with an Italian name, no address, a one year 'warranty' and no real info?
    Are you on drugs?

    add a shed load of import tax and vat and you can get a better spec bike in the UK.

    Without having to send it back to America when it breaks.

    The bike, or the unthought out half baked idea of buying a bike from America?

    Pretty irrelevant what the bike is like when buying it is just dumb!

    SRAM x4, RST fork, the rest of it is pretty crap unless you pay a fortune for upgrades, no quote for shipping.

    Yes, it's a really bad idea. If you want a cheap 29er go to decathlon or halfords.

    The Voodoo Bizango is due to be launched soon - just had an amazing write up in mbr, costs £599 and whatever you think of their customer service you are never far from a Halfords. The spec trounces all over the Rossetti bike and by the time you add import tax VAT and delivery the price will be virtually the same, possibly even cheaper.

    They're also launching the Voodoo Aizan at £449, the same as the list price on that Rosetti.
