Then again I'm not the Gandhi of trials and would like a little feedback on what you think. Cheers Big T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 sounds good all round mate. The only slight niggles and they are slight are the Freewheel is not really suited for trials and may need replacing at some point. And the rear brake is not ideal you would be better with a Maggie. Other than that sounds good mate.sounds good all round mate. The only slight niggles and they are slight are the Freewheel is not really suited for trials and may need replacing at some point.

With delivery that is going to cost me $770 dollars where as this Onza Limey is a lot cheaper but is a 26 inch which I am sort of trying to veer away from but still open to them.

Greetings Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 The reason there is such a big price difference between China and Europe is that we have a 48.5% anti dumping tax on imports from China (bikes, frames, forks, wheels, freewheels, freehubs, handlebars, cranks etc.). There's also the standard 4.7% tax and VAT on top of the total. So yeah, what might seem cheap in China will be pretty expensive once it reaches Europe.

Very true, only just really thought about this. Onwards and upwards with the onza limey i think. Cheers Big T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Poyzer @ Onza Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 There is no Anti Dumping duty on bikes from Taiwan, only China. The full cycle duty however is 15% not 4.7%. That is only for parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
