Yeah, I'd already heard that from the local LBS guys. I've also been noticing that more custom fabricators(ones with waiting lists that are 18+ months) that they can no longer guarantee the price of the bike they build for you. It used to be for most of them that the deposit went toward your place in the queue and locked in the price of the bike to the current published prices for the work on the frame and fork. Some of the current policies say that they will notify you of the final price when your bike is ready to be built.
