Well it is a European bike, and was on the road over there 4-5 months before here and most are sold over there.
I've not had any bad experiences ordering out of Europe. Last year I bought a lot out of germany and the netherlands due to upgrading gear and getting my daughter into riding. Dollar was strong, prices were cheaper and I don't mind waiting for stuff. You just have to be aware of credit card issues and the fees some may charge; hate to waste any savings by giving it to the banks. Most time they will take paypal and I use a CC that does not charge foreign or exchange fees. I pay in the local currency and get the best exchange rate possible. If you let paypal do an exchange rate it sucks.
