    as a matter of fact there is indeed a huge demand. i’m from austria and do you think any bikeshop in vienna and within a radius of 100kilometers is able to order chris king hubs or a thomson seatpost, and HEY don’t even start with EDGE parts. i’m a huge fan of american roadbike(parts) and i like the way they represent their country by the way they’re built. i’m also a big fan of “support your local bikeshop” but sometimes i reach limits that i don’t understand, when it comes to availability. to order bikeparts via the internet makes not always sense when you you think about term of shippingcosts. you almost pay the same prices on the tags in euros as they cost in dollars! and if you, for example try to build up a bike with thomson, chris king, phil, edge etc. – it’s almost worth a planeticket to NYC (from europe) than to buy them and pay for shipping.
