That's why most of us don't order the bikes and have them delivered to the North America. The bike/frame is inexpensive for you to purchase, but once we attempt to order it the price shoots up exponentially. You might see $200 and we'll see a $500 price, WITHOUT even calculating in shipping and handling. Even when I've seen Java bikes at excellent prices, the shipping cost kills it. Personally I'd love to see you starting a business, to help some of us get these great bikes. Hopefully you can find a solution to this...
