Pity they won't ship outside UK (except for Ireland). Can any UK members help US CR buyers with this?

\r?\n> You might want to look at this 'flying gate' we [St John
\r?\n> Street cycles] have on eBay

\r?\n> Its a Trevor Jarvis built 'Baines gate' frame, with modern
\r?\n> stuff to make up as a fixed wheel bike.
