These BB’s are just the job, and could also mean the difference of a rideable bike to a collection of parts.
Nothing in the world is cheap nowadays…..but I think they are priced right for a thread that is obsolete. I am glad someone is making them. Tried looking at shipping and delivery but only displayed “under construction”. The postage and custom charges are what get you….
The firm also lists their products on eBay.

Prices listed on eBay (shipped to US) are a bit higher than on their direct website, but the price includes economy shipping to US. Same seems to be true for the UK (I changed delivery location to the UK and got the same price with "free international shipping" included). No idea what customs charges would add.
I have no commercial interest in the firm and have not done business with them. But as you note, their products might keep a classic bike on the road.
