No benefit for us; we can’t get bicycles parts for 2-6 months but widely available in Europe; just not shipping to the UK.
Warranty process take 2-3 times longer too.
Same deal here. Can't get a Specialized in France for love nor money, and even supposedly common stuff just isn't available.
I think it's a combo of supply chain difficulties and lack of distributors.
Luckily the Basso Palta has Rival AXS and not GRX, so I'm not riding to the shop across the river and return two bikes home with tram and bus.
