If you want the Lynskey, I've used Shipito to ship a bike frame before. They give you a US shipping address (one of their warehouses) and then you arrange shipping from there.
You can also get parts etc sent there and then they'll combine all of the bits into one shipment to send to the UK.
Hope that helps.
Salsa Deadwood looks great though!

never seen one of these before so will definitely check it out-I like lightness!
Keep looking at Surlys and they are great for what you want them to do but you also know they are built like a panzer and feel like it too. That said, the Ogre seems to make the most sense out of all of them.
Salsa-wise, the Marrakesh looks good but I'm reading that it's got a max. load of 15kg on the rear which puts it in a strange place between not being light but not being rugged either. There is also the new Salsa Deadwood which I like the look of and has moar carrying capabilities:
I do like the Salsa Alternator rear ends and the Deadwood can go up to 3" tyres which is almost fatbike territory. It's just too bad the price tag is double that of the Marrakesh : ?
In other news, Lynskey is clearing out frames on Ebay but US delivery only and I have no-one to noise up otherwise I'd be getting a Cooper CX frame and be done with it!
