  This site outlines the changes. As you can see, for goods worth more than £135, nothing has changed with regards to importing from South America.

  That is a pity but I think it’s is more the case the seller and their shipping agents not understanding the regulations or just not wanting to get involved. Your second idea might work - shipping between the eu and the U.K. is still occurring, it’s just takes longer and is more expensive than before. You might have to pay import duties and VAT twice.

  That article about Captain Kirk is a little out of date. It doesn’t cost anything to register for VAT unless you are getting an agent to do it for you but in any case, that’s only for goods of less than £135 in value

  I think the OP needs to contact the seller and ask them to send the frame (assuming it’s worth more the £135) with the appropriate customs declaration and then wait for HMRC (or more likely Royal Mail or the courier) to charge them for the VAT and import duties on delivery.

  If the item is worth more than £135 then nothing has changed for imports from outside the EU. They send the item without charging any taxes (VAT and import duties) and you pay those on receipt. It’s possible that the company is confused about the changes, not a surprise really, or the item is worth less than £135 in which case they have to register for VAT in Britain, collect it and pass it onto HMRC - which is where the problem arises. I’m not a trader myself but that’s the situation as I understand it, but I stand to be corrected.

• rear and front drivetrain independence

  I am currently running a 23 year old Campag triple front mech and a 8 year old shimano mountain bike rear mech, both controlled by Dura Ace bar end shifters on a road bike. Not sure if that answers your question but it works and it’s not on any compatibility chart.

  The threads on the locknuts and cones of both pedals are conventional - righty tighty and lefty loosey!

  Thanks for the information. Always good to hear it from someone on the inside as the website is vague at best.

  Is Glasgow open yet? Or if not, any idea when it might be?

  Are you planning to ride it or hang it on the wall?
