    No, he changed his name by deed poll after he bought the bike.

    I wonder if Scott was named after his previous bike before the name change? Mr Raleigh Burner.

    Yeah, but if you squint while you are on the payment page then it doesn't seem so bad.

    I was -- I was Zaskar Reynolds which I think sounds way cooler. I decided it was more euro to not just have your name on the bike but to be named after the bike.

    I bought it cause it was a better bike than the Colnago Arte. I love it. I've done about 4,000 kms on it and couldn't be happier. Well alright if it was named ScottReynolds I would have bought two...

    Tiny, In a study of ethics its often recognised that doing something for the greater good actually works out better for society. In this case I can't aford it and you can't afford it but if you give me half of the money I will be able to buy it. So instead of neither of us having a Cervelo one of us will which is better overall. Let mw know what you think and I can give you my bank details.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,001 ✭✭✭scottreynolds

    Not if you have a company and supply a VAT number -- I do this often and pay for it personallly.

    I tell you what, I have a relative in Nigeria who is very wealthy, and would be happy to pay not only for a Cervelo for you, but also one for each and every boardsie... so let me have your bank details, and I'll get you sorted out -he may need a few quid to get his funds out of the country, but it's all legit... honest!

    As for avoiding VAT, that's illegal and kittens are killed every time you do it :)

    They are business puchases my accountant put them through for me. I am not avoiding VAT at all in Ireland its standard EU policy. If you sending goods from one EU country to another and its a business puchase then you don't need to pay local VAT..... Believe me I checked. I am always 100% on my business affairs as tax reviews aren't fun.
