it's getting shipped from taiwan
Bear in mind that you're likely to be charged 20% VAT + ~5% duty + a customs handling fee, so that £145 is likely to become about £190
They are just over €170 (~£145 including shipping and currency conversion) at Bike24, and you won't have to pay any more tax if you buy before the referendum :-)
sorry if this is the wrong thread for the question; currently building up a new ride and had my eyes on the obvious SRAM Omnium crankset, mainly because it seems to be 170ish+ everywhere except here:

seller is called "superbicycleshop uk" but it's getting shipped from taiwan, so i just thought i'd check on here see if anyone has used them before? they've got pretty high ratings and everything but i'm a bit paranoid.
