My tax bills in the US vary from 8-11% of the cost of the cargo. Tax plus shipping is usually about 20% in the US. I got a 120% bill for cargo in the UK. Charging $190 is well less than 120% of the cost of a bike.....therefore is it a bargain???

Thanks for the clarification.

The bike is still competitive and looks great.
