How to get a Raleigh Tamland 2 to Australia?
Hey all,
I live in Australia and i'm trying to source a Raleigh Tamland 2. I am aware that the UK arm of raleigh call this model the Maverick with slightly different specs, but i would rather the USA version, which is called the Tamland 2. The Raleigh importer for Australia do not and will not import this model. I just spoke to them on the telephone. As far as i'm aware, most if not all Raleigh dealers in the USA are not permitted to sell and ship Raleigh bikes overseas. This Tamland 2 is exactly what i'm after and so i'm fairly well devoed i don't seem to be able to get my hands on one.
Does anyone have a solution, ideas or a contact who might be able to help? Would be much appreciated.
cheers

I'm sure it would be easy to have someone buy it here in the US and ship it to you, but shipping to Australia will be expensive - probably $300+. You may also have to pay import duties when it gets there.

Time for a holiday trip to North America to pick up a new bicycle.

Yes. Also, ride it around a bit so if checked, it will appear used.
