Hi Folks, I realize that this has probably been covered many times before, but I could not find anything in the archives. I'm working on a frame purchase from England, a frame I really want, but the seller is quoting me a price of ~150 pounds, which to my limited experience is about $300 US. Can this possibly be correct? This seems ridiculously expensive to me for just the frame. I know prices have gone up, but was not expecting quite that high. Any recommendations to bring this cost down? Any advice is most appreciated.
