I can't find the Nashbar branded one for sale anywhere now, but it looks like this.
Every Cyclus tool I've bought has been of excellent quality, and bargain priced. But as you've already discovered, sometimes the shipping can be costly.
Back when I was buying mine, the trade off with not having to pay the VAT on them covered part of the shipping. Anyway, shop around at the various Euro sites, I've never found an American distributor.
Not sure what's going on with them now, but Chris King headsets used to require a special press fitting you bought from them for their headset installation. Otherwise you can hurt them.
