After watching the auctions, and the thread I wonder why are classic components cheaper in Europe? Is the issue supply and demand here in the U.S. (and to and extent Japan, but I won't go there)? Are European riders just into the latest and greatest and yearly dump their old rides/components? Or are U.S. collectors just more willing to shell out?
