2010 bikes

[SimonRoberts0204]

I wish sooo much that the 2010 allez was white... it looked sooo cool! Might have to try and get hold of last years one instead..

Hang on, its still 'last year'.. these things come in early!

So prices jumped with the 09 bikes, and they're jumping again with the 2010 models? Hmmm.

I'm led to believe that the price hike on the 2010 models is due to the strength of the yen as most bikes are fitted with Shimano gear. Manufacturers are having to de spec their bikes to keep costs down.
Makes sense to me so i would advise getting an 09 bike toute suite if there still available.

And here was me thinking there was a recession on

I can understand some price hikes but sometimes I wonder if we just get more and more ripped off.

I think the makers thought this too hence low stocks.
Turns out demand is on the up so why not sneak a few ££ on the prices.
