Schwing! Why don't you drop out and sign a stagiare contract with Silence-Lotto? You've got the bike already...

Heard it was a nightmare to import a Canyon into the US, how'd it work out for you?

It really wasn't so bad, but I was also ordering during their lull season (late August/early September). Buying from your LBS is always preferable, but worked out with no real snags. This was basically how it went down:

1: put in the order, they assemble and send you an email with an invoice once the bike is prepared to ship.
2: Wire the money to their bank account (or do a credit card order via fax or phone)
3: They send via Schenker, the bike arrives in about a week
4: The bike gets held up in customs for another week while you're praying to god that you won't have to pay an import tax
5: Bike gets released with no fees, Schenker delivers to your home (although I have heard that others had to pick their bikes up at the local airport).

BTW: Thanks ninjaman, but unfortunately the bike is more fit for ProTour-level competition than the rider.

Really sweet ride nonetheless!

They really charge you $300 for shipping, though?

More or less. I think it was $200. I'm sure they could find a cheaper shipping agency than Schenker, but the total cost with shipping was 2239 Euro, which isn't bad for a complete bike w/ full Chorus.
