Hmm.. so you're implying that US bike companies could get Shimano parts cheaper than usual wholesale (which we've heard is about the same as the UK retail price), and could sell them at prices more competitive with the UK shops if they figure out a way to not advertise their pricing?
I wonder if bundling lots of things into 'build kits', like Adrenaline does, works with the MAP agreements? example:
