Anyone ever used totalcycling (http://www.totalcycling.com) ? Im looking at new shoes (see other post) and their prices are really good. They are over in the U.K. though so would shipping and any import fees or anything like that neglect the savings? Also, if anyone has used them what kind of time did it take to receive shipment? Thanks

I ordered Sidi 4's from them and got them in about a week. 70 pounds plus 10 for shipping-quick and easy.

I have ordered from them many times. Service is excellent! Shipments arrive in 5 to 7 days. Most of their prices are significantly lower than in the US on intenationally produced items. The exchange rate is not as attractive with the recent decline in the value of the dollar, however. Be sure to compare prices based on the current exchange rate.

You got that right, there is a tremendous mark up by the time the Euro stuff makes it to the retailers shelf here. My friend Paul used to live and race in Germany. Last time he went over there he bought about $1500.00 worth of cycling clothing, and sold it out of his van at race events around the US.

In fact, I have an order coming in a week or so. Mostly Nalini Super Roubaix bib tights with pad. I think they retail here for like $110.00 I paid about a quarter of that. most are pre-sold, but If I have any extras, Ill post em on here for like $45.00.

I did have to get a little creative with the shipping, but some German friends helped me out. I only wish I knew about this when the Dollar was much stronger vs. the Euro..... I could have made a killing.

Anyone know of a currency exchange rate website? Has anyone had to return anything to them? Any problems? They are looking very attractive to me. I think even with a weaker dollar I should still be saving quite a bit.
