Want to know the really scary thing? All of the OEs are now announcing actual price increases. Not only that but these are coming with MSRP bumps as well. before our costs just went up and they held MSRP.
So not only are your prices not going back down they will keep climbing. Shortage or not.
not what i wanted to hear when im trying to get my hands on an entire 105 groupset.
