Here is the flip side:
They only want $8524.99 plus tax for them at Homedepot.com.
Boy, I should have hung on to my CC! HomeDepot jacking up the price. I think I paid under 4k including shipping a couple of years ago for the same cream colored bike direct from the girls at Frey...
 
Given the lines and customer service I.Q. at Home Depot, what are you going to do with your $8542.99 bike (plus 9.5% in sales tax); When something goes wrong? Go talk to the out of shape kid in an orange apron, with blue hair, facial piercings, and a neck tat of Tweety Bird if you can find her?

Yeah, I remember when Home Depot first opened-tons of associates on every aisle, ready to help and many of them were experts in the field. Good luck finding a guy or gal to help you pick out the right size whatever. I have an ACE hardware much closer and they are very helpful with plenty of staff...
 
Now days you can go to a Home Depot plumbing department and ask for a wax ring and they will look at you as if you asked for a Coccolocco logorrhean chiaroscurist.

Pashley e-pronto. The UK brand recently switched motor supplier, previously the e-pronto had the option of a Pendix mid-drive. The Bafang BBS01b mid-drive has been a popular choice for converting the Pashley Pronto pedal bike, and older Pashley Mailstar postal bikes, so it's great you can now buy them new from the factory pre-converted.
