Maybe an unsuspecting Brit, but I severely doubt you could rope an Aussie stranger into packing a foreign object in their bags... especially something hollow like a set of carbon wheels. How do they know Tikka isn't operating some kind of drug-smuggling operation? :lol: I think most people will pass that opportunity. Aussie customs is almost as bad as the US... or worse.

Sad to see the corimas go though - I thought they were nice wheels and a bit diferent to the usual zips and cosmics everyone has.

My assistant is flying back to OZ in 4 days. Will ask her, for £50 I reckon she may be convinced...

are you kidding synchro? for £50 in walkabout you could find someone who'd take em... and promptly ebay them before using the cash to buy a ticked back to Oz.
