Imaginos, shipping is crazy. $506 to ship a nice Torelli to Haines from Corvallis; $250+ to ship just a Mondonico frame (No fork) from CA. I’d say you are doing good.
I currently am on walk about from Albany,OR area and now in FL. Some really nice bikes that will stay here because of the shipping costs.
For what it is worth, I belong to both the Mid-valley Bicycle Club in Corvallis and the Salem Bicycle Club although I live in Haines. Both do good work in promoting bicycle safety and access. Kudos to them and all in the PNW who do the same.
