My suggestion:
1. Look up the prices of bikes you want to buy in the U.S.
2. Look up the prices of bikes you want to buy in Canada.
3. Think about whether you want to consider value for your time and transportation costs to come to the U.S.
4. Consider how you feel about "sneaking" a US-purchased bike across the border to Canada without paying duties, if any.
Compare. Decide.
Sorry, no, but I can write one hell of an essay with a typewriter at 120wpm.
It's not like I haven't tried using the Internet for comparisons but, you know, what with it being endless and all, trying to find a starting and ending point (with prices, mind you) is just a tad daunting. I've been led in circles of websites that are primarily based in the US or good luck trying to find a Canadian retailer that lists a price.
Thanks for the input everyone.
