K2 Lithium 5.0
« on: August 24, 2004, 08:06:01 pm »
It makes me drool and I want one, does anyone know where you can get them in the UK?



Have managed to find a dealer in Spain - but for some reason he will not ship to the UK  [smiley=furious.gif]



Buying from the States incurrs customs & import duty charges and drastically inflates the already expensive price tag - so its not really an option, unless there is another way of doing it?



Any suggestions?  



Since I'm going for the Lithium I will be parting with my 4500 - just the frame (medium), BB, rear NR-4 & noleen x-link carbon fibre forks with smart shock - whats a reasonable price?  Any offers?

If you were me, I'd still hang onto that 4500 frame, carbon x-link and Nr4...... Unless it's necessary to get the new bike. There are few bikes that look like the carbon 4500/5500/Oz

"Sprucey" might be able to pull something together for you so try getting in touch with him.

I didn't realise that K2 doesn't have a dealership in the UK, kind of sucks. I am not sure what the shipping charges would be but it will be cheaper to buy in the US than Europe I would guess, especially if you can find one on Ebay. Maybe you can find someone to carry one over in their luggage to reduce shipping?
