Beat me to it. Yes, Surly has already acknowledged the price increase. It's giving me grief, too, because I'm planning on buying a Long Haul Trucker frame over the winter, but if I fork over the money now, it'll be cheaper, or it would be if the money was in the budget now...

So, yeah, given that Surly themselves are saying this is going to happen, if you know what you want and have the money, the time to buy is now.
