Ah I see - bikesdirect is a US website, right? The shipping might be a bit much for me? I'll check again.

The year isn't listed, unfortunately, - here's a link: w w w. ebay .co. uk/itm/224048955614 (i've had to space it out as it won't allow me to post links..)

Can you tell what year it is? Looks relatively shiny/new to me, but he says he's refurbished it somewhat. It's about half a kilo heavier than the feather, and half a kilo lighter than the Charge I was used to, so I don't think I'll mind the weight. Do you think I could do better for £350 (430 USD) ?

Thanks for the advice!
