Don't forget about Peter White.  Also:  not to be argumentative, because I'm always on the lookout for sales and deals myself, but I think it might  be an unrealisic expectation in this case.  If you want the best, you usually pay what it's worth.  In the case of anything that Petrr sells, I usually realize it's a bargain after researching and shopping and comparing enough.  I honestly don't know how a small, real, bike shop like his can offer the things he offers at such good prices.

I haven't checked in a year or so, but the last few SON hubs I purchased were all from European mail order sites (SJS/Bike24/Condor/Berthoud/etc) and were significantly cheaper as a result of favorable exchange rates and no VAT, despite the shipping cost.

Yes, and if you buy the SON and lights from Peter, they are under warranty, whereas I don't think they are under warranty from a European purchase.

SON and Rohloff hub sales are basically "I can afford these parts or I get SP dyno and Shimano Alfine." 😬
