If the British pound stays down then the Uk shops will be paying more to import them and that will get passed on. So I wouldn't expect to see any long term price advantages.

I dunno about price savings but if Scotland leaves the UK then Australia will need a new flag.
It would be a perfect opportunity to get rid of the Union Jack forever.
Wonder if I could wangle a vote in the next Scottish independence referendum.
Go Scotland!

Conflicting stories. Raleigh are saying there will be a price rise but then Specialized are actually planning to sell the new model Crux cheaper than the previous model.

An interesting article on Shimano prices here. WigAction component prices are usually tied to the Japanese and Taiwanese currency. So sourcing components from low-price markets in Asia may soon be cheaper. I did exactly that recently with some shifters shipped from Taiwan, far cheaper than WigAction.
