I bought a pair of Mavic MTB shoes from CRC two weeks go - R850 LBS (who are on 'the list') have them for R1750. This kind of business model is simply not sustainable. There is a premium to be paid for 'touch and feel' in the store, but not this much. Given the frequency of CRC orders, and the 'pooling' of orders that frequently occurs amoungst hubbers to save postage, maybe the hub can formalise the process, contact CRC and get additional bulk buying discounts (together with no postage costs). A reasonable admin fee of a few % could be charged for the service.
