One trick I heard was to put ice cubes down your seat tube. Obviously only effective if your frame has drainage holes! Might not work so well on really cold days either...

[quote="marco"]I think there is import duty as well as VAT - the rate is written down on the customs and excise website but i cant find it at the moment - there are different rates for different items - components, bikes and frames will all have a different ratings, maybe thats where the discrepencies Hugh mentioned come from

Ive found import duty reasonable. I bought a few things from US inc a powertap hub and only paid £60 inc handling charged and reckon I saved at least £200 if I bought it here.

I will let you know the cost when it arrives.
