I'm not sure if you pay a US Customs fee for a bike from Ribble (or any U.K.).
I think if it's valued over $800, you pay duty/whatever for the amount over $800.
That said, it wasn't the import fee that kept me from buying from Ribble, it was the cost of a return for warranty, initial purchase problem, etc... THAT can be expensive and time consuming, sending back to the U.K.
As opposed to Ohio.
