It was the current daily price i was asking about skipdiver but i suppose you kind of answered _ assuming that supplies to the street are down.
There could be several reasons for this unless you are saying the exact same bike(s) have increased from £500 to £1299? For example:
A retailer not offering a particular product isn't an indicator that prices have increased.
- Stock of cheaper bikes has sold out
- Manufacturing has stopped/slowed
- Planet X has made a business decision to no longer sell low cost bikes
Or, in the case of a couple of their models I've been keeping an eye on, they've suddenly whacked the price up by £200 overnight!
Some posts have said that the 2021 models might be delayed, in very short supply or non existent.What do we think will happen with the 2021 ranges, as I have seen a few posts on here from people saying there lbs has little to no stock.
I’m looking to buy a synapse but was going to wait for 2 months as the new range should start being released and the 2020 bike will lose a few hundred £££. All the talk of no supply has me concerned and don’t know whether I should just order it up now at full retail, the carbon 105 is £2200 so I’d have thought bikes over the £1000 mark should adobos most of the people just buying up something to use
I agree, but if we start tomorrow that will be a very long term thing over the course of decades rather than years. It does show that globalisation has it's major drawbacks. In the event of an international crisis disrupting or stopping imports we have, for the sake of cheaper goods made by impoverished slaves in countries with horrible working and living conditions, lost our ability to control the supply of essentials.There's never been a better time to relocalise essential industries like bicycle manufacturing, food, energy etc. If we don't, we'll have bigger things to worry about thaen bike shortages soon enough.
