TBH unless you are a expert in international shipping and logistics procedures and legislation it is a potential mare, risks of being ripped off by the foregn “businessmen”, being stung for duty from HMRC, getting substandard goods – and to get something like a bicycle for an affordable transit cost you’d need to wait for a container going the right way which can take 10 weeks to 3 months or more due to the recession..
you are far better off just bidding for the bike from the Welsh dude who has already done all the work ; or somewhere in Sheffield will be a “cycling campaign group”. Join this and you will encounter all sorts of random people into bikes, including the sort of heads what would be able to source this kind of bike…
