If you have not purchased this bicycle from the US yet, you might check to see if you can get what you want in the UK. It would likely be less expensive to ship it.
I've started using wiggle.co.uk for buying stuff online. Not only do I get free postage

on orders over AUS$90ish, but the prices are unbeatable to anything in Australia.
I wish Psimet would move to the UK, or start becoming a wiggle wheelbuilder
