Which country has the cheapest top-end mountain bikes? I'm living in Brazil where top-end mountain bikes are very expensive, due to high import tariffs. I'd like to know which country has the cheapest top-end mountain bikes? top-end would mean a bike which can handle a race and is light, not necessarily carbon-fiber.
The factories that make these bikes are mostly in China and Taiwan, I've been told (by my boss when I worked in a bicycle shop). 

If you're going there, maybe you can find a nearby retail outlet.
