Maybe they keep the price where it is because of that.
For us in Oz, exchange rate is a big part of the issue. When the $$ was good I got my 175 cranks and they were $315. My first track bike came with DA 170s so I was already onboard. Now the best price is $AU450 plus delivery. Relatively speaking they're up there, but so too is the quality.
