Well done. There is no guarantee that it will work for you, but the odds are pretty good. Don't hold your breath for delivery, though... I know of one Brooks that was ordered from Wallbike, and it took several weeks to arrive (I am not being negative, just realistic). It would seem that the weak US dollar compared with other currencies around the world has suddenly made buying bike parts from the US much, much more attractive, and companies like Wallbike have been a little swamped with orders. Gotta love that prime mortgage market disaster

Oh and I am jealous simply because I couldn't source a B17 in honey on the spot in England in August and had to settle for another black one.
