Hey guys,

I'm trying to get back into flatland and I've been recommended this site to buy some stuff.

I'm in NZ so, although I'd be interested in a full bike, shipping would probably be off the hook!

Anyway I'm after mainly a frame, plus any other little bits you could throw in.
cheap as possible. What have ya got?

Paul Knox from Wellington, but living in Melbourne at the moment.
I send a bit of stuff to NZ; Aussie Post is the best way to go. They ship everything by weight, but have a size restriction on how big a box can be. A frame box is pretty much the max you can send. If you want to do a complete bike, you need to send the wheels seperatly. A frame box, with 4-4.5kg in it will cost around AU$55.00 Air Express. You could use surface ship, but it takes forever and only saves you a couple of bucks.
A couple of tips... Keep each package to under $200, and send to a home adress (not a business adress) for minimun hassles from Customs.

tell me about it. we had such a hassle trying to get my RIP to here in NZ. in the end, i ended up getting it delivered to Glen (thanks again man) in Sydney for me to get when i came up for this year's BMX Games.

it went all the way to NZ and then got sent back to Rully. [Image Can Not Be Found] :( :(:(

might be an option if you know someone in Aus

If any Kiwi needs to send stuff to OZ because of dodgy NZ postage services, you can send them to me to mind till the next contest or jam, as I attend about 99% of comps n jams in OZ.
