Heh heh, nope, fortunately I've got a great bike and no desire to change!
(deKerf ST).

I wouldn't be surprised if Shimano has increased their prices, but the US
dollar has dropped significantly on the japanese Yen over the past year.
This means a direct price increase to the US. That's all I'm saying - don't
blame the price changes entirely on Shimano (there's lot's of more
legitimate stuff to complain about Shimano).
