Shimano DXR prices

Mike do you think its fair to say we will see a price hike on all bike stuff manufactured outside the uk when current uk stock is depleted?

Definitely.  Shimano have got in there first with the price rises, but I can't see stuff getting cheaper, simply because the increase in raw materials and bad exchange rates mean that current prices are unsustainable.

My new BMX frames will be a bit more expensive than originally planned but I'm gonna keep them under £300 and just accept I will make less profit.  Just got to weather this financial storm and hope the company comes out the other end when the recession is over.
