I paid $5600 for a Klein palomino race, RRP $6600, A buddy back home bought one for 1200 pounds, even at a crap exchange rate thats only $3600!!!

Next: LBS tried to sell me a carbon bidon cage, $120... mate back home bought one last month, $30, again only $90 at the worlds worst rate....!

Next: Nike shoes, 100 pounds in UK, $650 in Aus....

Anyone know why?
