Has anyone got any experience with buying a bike from abroad? I have spotted a Quintana Roo Lucero Complete Bike 2009 for $2,200, that's £1,353, bargain!
Are there any pit falls that will make this bike a nightmare rather than a bargain when buying from abroad?
Thanks in advance

The only problem I have had is that as Cervelo do not officially import my model to the UK some dealers are unwilling to deal with me and provide help on spare parts. If the bike is sold in the UK it won't be an issue.
If you do buy from the states ask them to set it up as an 'english bike', the shop I went to advised me that US bikes have their gearing the other way around ie rear cassette lever on the left.
Hope that helps
