Nice original bike that !


Just be careful of import duties...

hotdog:
Go with USPS. $200-300.

insectbones:
Yep, USPS. Just had a quote  of $165 for a complete.

Gnarlyscoots:
The best advice I can give you through experience is the following buddy.

If you have a US buddy, get it shipped to him and then ship it over. Ship the bike in two boxes. Pedals, wheels, seat and post, and bars in one, the rest in the other. The box can be cut to virtually fit around the frame set bringing the overall size to the minimum.

If you are sure the seller is genuine and can be trusted, and can also follow the above to help you, get him to value the total of each box at $40 and tick the 'gift' box on each declaration notice. You WILL avoid any charges that way but you will not be insured if the item/s are lost. The chances of that happening though are very slim indeed, and any delays in you receiving the item/s means it's being held at Parcel Force until you receive the charge notice and pay it. It also means the sender marked the declaration form incorrectly.

I hope that helps a little buddy  :daumenhoch:
