Buying in UK you can deal with that shop direct instead of having to send back to Copenhagen. But unlikely you will have any "omnium" type issues, more likely just regular component issues which you can use your in country shimano distributor for (Madison)
We sell Omnium (soemtimes), but suggest get it from wherever is closest, quite a few dealers around now, none will sell any cheaper unless your maybe a mate (slim margins, it aint a carrera/voodoo/pinnacle!).
Size can be an issue, many folk size up if they are not quite sure whether to go for size a or size b. Being able to see one and ride a demo unit is handy (we don't have a demo yet either lol, full cargo in purple coming soon hopefully!).

I'm looking to get an Omnium Mini or something of similar size and load capacity to transport heavy loads through the city. Am I better off buying direct from source, a UK stockist, or second hand? Will this impact any future servicing the bike may require?
Any recommendations or pointers for a beginner you lot have would be great. Alternatively, please feel free to politely point me in the direction of your favourite 'cargo bikes for dummies' website and I'll get cracking after I'm done with these 193 pages! Cheers.
