I want to buy a new bike, specifically this one:

http://www.yt-industries.com/en/products/bikes/dow...

You may see that it is in Euros, and with the exchange rate being so good for us at the moment it seems like the perfect time to buy.... but I want to try and avoid any fees.

I have a current account with Barclays, who I believe charge a 3% fee on charges and even then I'm not certain the exchange rate they give you is any good.

Do any of you much more financially aware people have any ideas on the best way to go about this purchase?

Cheers

A Halifax clarity credit card is what you need - no fees and wholesale rates on the exchange
Surely the 18.9% offsets the benefits there? Although I could just pay it all off straight away to avoid that...
