Hi i am looking at possibly buying a cube bike, i have been looking around to try and find myself a bargain and have found this website; http://www.bike-discount.de i am assuming it is foreign as you paying Euros. I am now wondering why this website is so significantly cheaper than any other and is it a risk to buy from it? Has anyone here had any experience with this website.

Thanks

    Cheaper as the Euro has slumped so much recently, devalue the euro by 15% and prices drop by 15% for us who aren't in the Euro, eventually the prices will come back up, but they can't put thm up and down everytime the Euro moves.

    The .de in the domain name means Germany (Deutshland - or Nicklouse country.....) don't need to see prices in Euro's!

    Current exchange rate doesn't work in our favor. My mate got himself brand new zesty 514 from mainland that was over £400 cheaper than in UK shops. He paid normal, non sale price.
