Hello Allee . Not planning on a US holiday any time soon 🙂 It looks like this is going to be a non starter . Obviously there would be VAT and import duty which I was aware of ,however the bike would have no warranty . Diamond Backs attitude Its a complete mystery to me I cannot see there being more than a 1000 sold in the US so why not take the chance of a few more sales in Europe ?

Your description of the bike as “Niche” brought a smile to me , Its a touring bike with a triple , and generous guard clearance. You can ride a bike like this all day in comfort on mutliple different surfaces .

Keep up the good work with the website

Alastair

It sounds like you’re in need for a holiday to the US… 😉

I can understand that, however Diamond Back USA have point blank refused to allow me to import one from the USA. It makes no sense.

Many thanks for your excellent website

Alastair

I can’t say for sure, but sometimes bike importers decide not to bring in products that are ‘too niche’.

Take a look just behind the axle. 😉

But this fork doesn’t even have that lower eyelet.

Racks like the Tubus Tara, Ergo and Nova require just one mid-fork mount, and a lower eyelet.
