I've bought a couple of pairs ready for when I need them in a few months as the prices are only going one way and I'd be buying them anyway.

Not specifically biking related (unless you're relying on your wages to run a bike) but we've already had material price increases of 3-5%, depending on supplier, based on currency change and they have now instigated monthly adjustments rather than quarterly. We have also had our first customer pull the plug on a range launch due to uncertainty around their market, not huge but a bit less profit towards investment, wages and taxes.

Thank God we've all those skilled and experienced politicians from the out campaign to lead us through the downturn we voted for. Can't get hold of them at the moment, probably on holiday after all their hard work, I'm sure they'll be back soon, no way the likes of Mr Farage would just bugger off and leave us to get on with it ...... is there?
