Surly has announce a price increase. But I still see them at the old price from online dealers, and just ordered the LHT last week from my LBS at the old, lower price. Not sure when the higher prices go into effect, but they have announced the increase. I know the Big Dummies have already gone up to the higher prices. I suspect the ones in stock now at dealers may be the old price, but new ones coming from Surly will be at the higher prices already.
