    I was given a tip that due to the drop in the English Pound, prices for bike stuff is cheap in England right now! Even in Canada, land of the low dollar, they're beating the Cdn. site I go to. Have checked at <sportbikeshop.co.uk> I am not affiliated with this company in any way. Oh, I did buy a tank bag on Saturday, though!

    Not so sure it's still a very good deal. According to www.xe.com, the most trusted currency exchange site, the GBP is still $1.28774 USD, so there is still a large price disparity.

    Eta: Looking at a helmet I used to have, the Lazer Monaco carbon their price is £379.99, and doing the conversion to Canadian dollars, it's £379.99 GBP = C$631.991 CAD

    That's spendy!

    Eta again: Lazer wants €499 from the factory, so, converted, that's $558.04 vs $489.37 converted from GBP.
