As a brit I've enjoyed a fantastic dollar to sterling exchange rate, which even with added shipping and the risk of import duty and VAT, buying from North America still made a huge amount of sense.
Unfortunately the dollar has been strengthening against sterling and the good times are now "less good", and getting to the point of being borderline, certainly for high value items.
Certainly two or three hundred for an "interesting" frame as a punt wasn't an issue, but now it's getting harder to wade in at those prices, and certainly bargains aren't so bargainous any more.
So, why this little state of the nation speech? ... Someone sell a M or L Ti Lite quick please before it gets any worse.
