Perhaps import taxes are the problem, as I understand British citizens can import used British products duty free. As least that was true 20 years ago.
I also now regret selling all those bikes for relatively little as young people in US are eager to buy the old junk bikes. Prices have soared.
I expect LF gear to soar in demand and price in US within 5 years. Attrition is still the biggest claimant here.
