Hate to be the messenger with bad news, but being in the import/asia factory sourcing market, don't expect anybody's prices to be safe. With the way things are with the US dollar, anything bought from Asia (primarily cnc parts like sprockets, rims, hubs etc) will see significant cost price increases (around 30%!!!) for the brands accross the board, be they British or otherwise. Some brands will be able to absorb some of these costs for a short period and try and ride out the economic storm that is causing a weak pound vs dollar, but needless to say they can't absorb huge reductions in profits forever (ok, some of the more 'pricey' brands can, but those running low or realistic margins will have tight belted times ahead).
