Fuel goes up, freight goes up, price goes up and we get stuck paying for the increase.

EXACTLY. Most things have gone up along with the price of fuel. Costs more for the materials to make it, the shipping to distribute it, and the retailers to stock and sell it.

Many manufactures have price increases each year. We just made a post last week about Fidanza is having one, so we posted so members could purchase them before they go up...

PM us and we will see what we can work out
