Gotcha. I could always do it up as a 'warranty replacement'. Most customs people don't charge if it's listed that way. The US doesn't. They also don't if it's 'not for retail sale'. For the frames/bikes that came over for NAHBS, I had to fill out a form stating so. And they weren't. They are heading back to Britain. But the form allowed me to bring them in without being charged duties and taxes. I'll look into it for you.

@ntb1001
I just checked Canadian import taxes. For a frame and fork it is 5% on value. But there may/might be a customs handling fee which is up to the customs agent. Supposedly if it goes thru the Post, they don't charge a handling fee. As long as the frame is small enough and can fit into a small enough box, it could go thru Post. I'd need to know the size frame and your post code so I can figure out shipping charges. Let me know if you want me to figure things out.

wow...talk about customer service!!!
I ride a 54-55 or size med. 5% isn't bad...but I also probably have to add HST(13%) when it arrives, so brings everything to at least 18% extra for me. Thanks for checking for me!!

No worries. Happy to help. I answer questions all day long. Check the website for frame geometries. For the costs, I answered that in the PM you sent. Let me know if you have any other questions. PM or here is fine.

Another one of our NAHBS builds. This is the Enigma Esprit. It is a UK made frame and has traditional horizontal top tube geometry. Personally, I love the geometry. I am a bigger fan of a horizontal top tube or only slightly sloping. So it was really nice to have this to show off.
It is a 3/2.5 titanium frame. It uses a traditional external cup headset- 1 1/8" size. I put one of the White Industries headsets on it. It looks really nice on it. While the frame uses ti anodizing for the finish, it's really tough to match that given the differences in materials. So I just went with black. It has our C-Six full carbon fork on it. A really nice fork. This is a Signature Collection frame so it's made to order. We have a stock geometry on the site but this is usually custom. I used Thomson components for the cockpit. The prototype alloy road bar with an X2 stem. Looks really nice on here. For the post, it's the prototype Masterpiece Carbon. Again, looks really nice on here. I would normally use a carbon bar to match but I wanted to show off the alloy bar they sent me. It's a full Shimano Dura Ace 9100 kit. Personally, I like the looks of it but I hate the new front derailleur. The shifting, it's really nice and clean. Brakes, strong and solid feeling. The wheels, they are Hunt Wheels out of the UK. It's a carbon rim with Pillar Spoke and Hunt hubs. I love these things. Even to the point I am going to start distributing them in the States. The hubs, they are sooooo smooth. They spin forever. Very impressed with them. The ti anodizing was something Britain came up with. It was some different they wanted to try. It's a gold ano on the frame. We even did the seat collar in a gold ano since this frame has a titanium seat collar on it. I finished it off with a very light WTB saddle, Fizik soft touch bar tape, Continental GP4000 tires and yep, a King Ti cage. Very happy with the look of it. I'd personally love to get one in my size.

This is another one of our NAHBS bikes. Enigma Etape sport touring/commuter bike.
This is the one I had issues with deciding on the bar tape and saddle. In the end, I did go with Brooks leather bar tape and a Selle Anatomica saddle, both in black. While at the show tho I did see the Rivet brand of saddles and their bar tape. Which by the way, had I done it again, I would've used their saddle and bar tape. I think it looked a bit nicer. This is a 3/2.5 titanium frame with Paragon disc brake dropouts. It's a standard 1 1/8" integrated headtube. It has an Enigma headset on it but for the show it had the White Industries headset in Purple! These pictures were taken before the headset came in and before I switched the bar tape and saddle. I wanted a commuter/sport touring bike I would personally ride or buy and this is what I came up with. I wanted to draw on the ti anodized logos so I went with gold, blue and purple accents. Gold White Industries hubs, blue skewers, blue and purple spoke nipples. It accented the logos well. I custom built the wheels with WTB Frequency CX rims, WTB Thickslick tires, DT Swiss competition spokes. I did the two spokes surrounding the valve in silver, the rest in black. The two silver spokes used blue nipples and the rest in purple. The fenders were made by Woodys Fenders in Oregon. Pricey but super worth it cause I love the look and the colors of them. So incredibly well made. I will absolutely buy from him again. Already thinking of a set for next years build! This bike made it to the Final Four for Best Commuter bike at NAHBS. After speaking to a couple people, they said they kept being/feeling surprised by what they would see. Logos first, then oh, the hubs, the oh, the skewers, oh the nipples, the headset. So I must've done something right since it made the final four. The rest of the build kit is a Shimano Ultegra 11 speed Hydro kit. It has the IceTech center lock rotors. I love these. Stiff, straight and they stop so well. The Ultegra kit is just so good it's hard not to like them. I am working on a bike for next years NAHBS. I wanted Woody to make a wooden rack for the rear but we didn't have time. So hopefully that will put us over the top next year.

Another of our NAHBS builds. This is my personal Enigma Ego 650b mountain bike.
Last year I wanted to get a custom mountain frame made for me. SO we worked on it for a month and planned on having it done for Interbike. I had the frame done but I couldn't get the parts I wanted all set for the show, so it sat on a frame display at the show. I wanted to pull out the white and red graphics with red and white parts. The fork was supposed to be custom painted in red and white on a Sid, but Rock Shox didn't come thru so eventually I used a Pike for the NAHBS build. I didn't want to push the price too much so I used a Shimano XT kit. But the wheels from Reynolds came with red decals so it looked awesome with them on there. But I did pull out a Thomson titanium bar to match the frame finish. WTB hooked me up with new tires, saddle and grips. Thomson with the bar, stealth dropper post, seat collar, dress up kit for the X4 stem and the ti bar. White Industries, their new headset. Everything on this I picked cause I know how good it is. How durable it is. And yeah, cause it looks good. The finish is a brushed titanium with a tough grey in the Elementary Design. The logos, that is the brushed titanium showing thru the paint. No decals, so the white and red is paint as well. The welds are super clean and show well on the brushed finish. I was really happy I got it built up even if the fork isn't right. I will probably switch a couple things around but not much. Last edited by sales guy; 02-02-2018 at 10:45 PM.

Thanks for the question. I don't have a bunch of the Evade. I do have 2 Evade frames coming in for customers so I will have those to take pics of. But I am posting pics of the ones I have. Let me know if you have any other questions I can answer.

Will, thanks for the call tonight. Hopefully I was able to answer your questions. Feel free to ring me again if you'd like to talk about Enigma or Kathleen! lol! Funny how small the cycling world is. Here are those other pics of the Evade I mentioned on the phone. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you. I have more pics of other Evades that i've found in our dropbox.
