Did you consider buying your bikes in Britain/Europe?

Yes, we did. Always intended to fly into Zurich (because we have somewhere to store bags there) so were limited to what was available there. Asked our Zurich friend's advice and emailed a couple of big bike stores.
5 years agoTwo reasons for not doing so:
1. Buying earlier allowed us to customise and road-test our bikes
2. It costs nothing to fly them across the world, checked in from our tiny South Island airport all the way to Zurich.
So there was no real advantage in buying overseas.
