And alway express the price in Pounds Sterling, because the numbers are smaller. Or you could use Euros but the exchange rate isn't so favorable (or is it?).
Exchange rate of $2 to £1 so just double the £'s. Sounds better in $'s aswell. Sounds like I am Richer than I think I am.
As an aside- Prices in the UK are a lot more than in the US- Except for the tyres at Pro-Bike for some reason. SO anything made in the US is going to be very expensive over here. "Made" might be the wrong word so change that to "Originating".
This frame is European and the £ against the Euro is pretty good at present.
Not certain on the prices of Bikes in the US but for around £2,000 this is a lot of bike. And that is me comparing up against the High end Treks- Giants and Specialised. I have just looked at a 2006 Giant TCR team bike with Ultegra fittings. Retail of £1800 but down to £1300---- For last years model. Plenty of parts to change from the standard and Would not have the "Bling" Of a Custom Build.
Barring the colour- Which you rather have?
