I cry everytime you guys go on about how much you pay for your bikes, and then you haggle over the price. A dealer in the UK will give a little bit if you are paying cash but you still end up paying double what you guys pay



Taxes man, taxes!! Would you have the Queen Mum buying her shoes second hand? Or the Mary Rose kept in just some old plain drab museum, instead of a custom built, super-high tech environmental chamber to preserve her for eternity? Not to mention the fab English weather you guys are blessed with (not that New England is much better!)...


Wait, send us the Queen and there'd be no difference!!!
