As the GBP keeps falling, prices on bike parts from online shops located out of the UK have become a huge steal... as long as you set to pay in GBP. For instance, on ProBikeKit, the Garmin Edge 520 is $299 USD, but $169.99 GBP -- that's ~$220 USD, a full $80 off. Of course, the discounts won't be as steep on cheaper products, but if you were holding off on a bike comp, new cassettes, headsets, etc. Now might be a good time buy.

Heads up.. Check your currency exchange fees on your bank or cc statement. I charged some shit in Cancun pesos last week and got hit with currency exchange fees.. It worked out because the exchange rate in the resort was stingier than the fee, but it's another thing to be aware of for cheaper purchases.
