The Chinese Flying Pigeons are around $35/ea a container full, though I believe that freighting costs brings the cost up to $70/ea or so.
It still does not justify YJ's prices. $60 for a pair of steel rims that aren't even of good quality? Ridiculous - and their NOS Raleigh Westrick rim for $90? $40 for an NOS Sturmey trigger? $50 for one pair of brake pads specific for the Aero Gran Compe brakeset?
Spare me.
I'll never deal with Yellow Jersey for the mere fact that their prices on just about anything C&V belongs in Numbskull of The Day. They may be a good shop with good people, but whoever prices this stuff is two spokes short of a wheel.
I only wish they were
