The price of your bike is going up

As of this morning, Specialized raised the MSRP of their men's Sirrus line (didn't look at any other models) by as much as $100 per model.
These are all current 2018 bikes also, not new 2019s. I've been checking daily to see the 2019s when they go live so I was surprised to see new pricing for what are still 2018 bikes.

it's a marketing strategy---raise the 2018 prices now, then when the 2019s come in mark them a Little higher ... then "discount" the 2018s, back to where they had been. Everything looks like a better deal.

With the price increase on the remaining 2018 models I assume SBC has not paid the bill yet and will see an increase from the supplier? Not sure how it works, but I am sure it works for SBC!
