Subject: [CR]ASC Sturmey Hubs

Hey North America, what is happening? $456 for a Sturmey ASC? What's going on? Investment bank bonus declarations or a subtle finger to UK buyers given the proximity of Independence Day? I just don't get it. Mind you, I did hear of a pair of Shelwin hubs being bought at York Rally Saddle Bag Sale a couple of weeks ago for £10 and sold on eBay by a 'renowned' CR member after a quick polish for in excess of £200. So there you go. York Rally is very much a riders' event, but the businessmen are always around, looking for a quick buck. Is that a problem? Personally I don't think much of it, given that the seller was probably an old guy with no idea of the value of what he had. So, what are the feelings of this august group on prices and making big bucks from fellow cyclists?

Nigel Land Barton on Humber UK PS anyone want an ASC for $2,000? Used notes please and I promise airmail delivery.
