Really fancy the flo yellow frame option, typical Specialized UK for not bringing it in! Does anyone from the US or Canada have a retailer they could recommend? Might try and get one mail order, if thats possible, had quite a few bikes shipped from a store in California I know but they don't do Specialized. Can anyone over the pond help???

you will have to speak to the importers as you will not be able to ship it of most websites as it will break dealer and importer contracts but if you can definatly send the link if you can

Crank Bros Iodine would be nice, I thought the Demo was 64 degrees as standard, 63 would be my limit, would this in theory lengthen the wheelbase and lower the BB height??

Import tax is pot luck having bikes and parts shipped to the UK. Royal Mail check 1 in 4 items that arrive and charge accordingly, never order anything substancial without phoning up the store before. Pay with paypal or a good Visa. The big issue is how the item is declared to the goons on this side of the ocean. I usually request items to be listed as a gift, but this used to limit USPS insurance to $500, which can be tricky if you loose your $2500 frame, but paypal can help you out there. It is a little gamble but I buy pretty much everything from the states, its just cheaper and the stores more professional. Finding a Specialized store that will have the frame and be glad to ship it to the Uk is the other problem, your not even meant to ship Specialized bikes in the Uk, but everyone does when threatened with losing a sale. Its just very disapointing that SpecialIzed UK were so narrow minded as to not bring both colour schemes in this country.
