I have just been looking for a new bike. Something with a bit more travel to handle my increased weight. When looking I was informed by one bike shop attendant that prices had gone up with the dollar crisis. At the next store I noted that the sale price (ie dropped from their listed RRP) was the same as the RRP listed in the bike buyers guide. I know we have dropped against the US dollar but have we gone down against China and Taiwan as well. Also base metal prices have fallen enormously. Can someone fill me in? Is this all for real or are being taken for a ride?
