False. The value of the dollar plummets, which means it takes more $US to purchase goods outside of the US. The majority of CF bikes are made abroad - specifically in places which have accommodated the environmental damage that their manufacturing does. If the $US is worth less, yet the cost of production decreases only a little bit, the cost to US consumers will be more. Please re-read the post I wrote, you'll get it: the $US dollar will be worth less, so you will need more $US to compensate for the cost of the item.

An easy example of this would be Germany, post WW-I. The value of the German mark plummeted - within a few years a bottle of milk (same amount of milk, same quality) increased in 'price' ten fold. TEN FOLD!! That's like paying $5 for a gallon of milk now... and within a few years that same gallon will have a price tag of $50. Yes, this is an extreme example, but it does illustrate the dynamics of the factors relating to monetary value.
