We want to see pics of Urbanwoodsmans awesome Leader right here.

Edit: Didn't realise I hadn't posted pics of this one here:

Got it for winter commuting in august but now since I've switched jobs and my commute is 800 meters it hasn't gotten much ride time. I'll try to hit the trails with it at some point, it rides really nice.

Gonna give the polo bike some action today though!

Ok fellas I really need your help. I've fallen in love with an Ibis Mojo SL and want to buy a complete bike from a shop in the US. Problem is they're not allowed to send a bike outside the US. They say I'll need a US address for them to deliver the bike to and have it sent on from there to me in France. How the hell do I go about this? Anyone know of a reliable proxy service in the US? Or a very trustworthy person? Thanks in advance for your help!!!

I have no experience with myus.com but it seems to be the most popular proxy service around. I would look into that as an option. Probably not very cheap to get a complete bike shipped to europe from the US though…

[bertoni]

Thanks Jii. I saw their ad but don't know enough about them at this stage. To be honest it's looking less and less likely. The cost of having it sent to europe are verging on the ridiculous. Quotes seem to be around 800-900 dollars! Be almost as cheap to fly there and back and pick it up. Why are the costs so feckin high?

[jacoavlu]

USPS/EMS likely to be much cheaper than UPS and it's reliable
I've proxied for a few folks here on the forum but not sure I want to get involved on such a large item
What's the size and weight of the box need all 3 dimensions and the insured value?
