I don’t understand why Australia is such an expensive country to live in. I think maybe we are used to being paid well, we think that paying more is somehow better (AKA ‘The luxury effect’), and companies are happy to pull the wool over our eyes.

Guess how much Montague’s Australian distributor sells this bike for? A$1,499. That’s almost 100% more than it is on Amazon, seeing as the US$ and A$ are effectively the same now. I very much doubt transporting these bikes costs $700 per unit.

And this Amazon retailer doesn’t even ship internationally! GraRRGH!
