According to Guitar Ted, in the very near future you are gonna have a harder time getting the parts and bikes you want and end up paying more for them.

Supply and demand is all sorts of jacked up in the bicycle biz right about now. And be prepared for HIGHER prices on just about everything. We’ve seen some pricing for ‘06 already, and it’s goin’ up, baby! Just like a dress on prom night! So, if you can get what you want, now is the time to get it. It ain’t gonna get any cheaper! If you wait, you may not even be able to get it! Well, at least until next year!

On that note, Surly got a few more Karate Monkey and Crosscheck framesets in late last week. But not to many so get ‘em while they’re hot.
