Due to the war in the Middle East, many products are experiencing production delays. Moreover, all the low material prices have increased. Hence, the product's price and freight cost would increase. As a small business, we are just hanging on and trying to survive.
Hope the war will end soon. Love cycling and peace!
P.S The photo was taken by a former EF Education rider, Hugh Carthy and it is his own bicycle. Not to mention, he purchased it from Alex's cycle.com.
