Hi,

Does anyone know if bikes are any cheaper in France (and whether duty
has to be paid on 'em) cos I'm thinking of doing a daytrip if they
are!

They can be; I picked up one at a hypermarket for about half what the
equivalent in H**F**ds would be. Check Decathlon as well. Make sure what you
are buying though, one warranty claim could add considerably to the cost if
you have to return it.No extra duty needs to be paid as it is EU.
