it will only cost you $US80 to ship a $US670 Steamroller fully built up by JensonUSA to Canada via UPS including all taxes and excise charges...You're saving about $CDN100 when all is said and done vs. buying it at the cheapest price in Toronto and, allowing them three days to assemble it, it will arrive by Friday if you order it Monday morning...

if your steamroller runs into problems or is recalled or something crazy like that, your local Toronto shop will most likely stand behind you if you bought it from them...jenson usa probably won't be as convenient...

you have to ask yourself whether or not that extra $100 you saved is worth going it alone when it comes to service...

a lot of that probably depends on how good you are with a wrench and how confident you are at sizing a bike for yourself...
