The announcement was down a ways on this post: http://www.rivbike.com/blogs/news_post/209
Here's the pertinent excerpt: We'll have a fancy new Double road crank any minute now. Sugino-made and about $300 with rings and no BB. The best deal in a crank is still the XD-2, the Sugino we sell now. It's planets ahead of all other cranks in that way, but a certain percentage of riders don't want a crank that inexpensive on their bike. When you consider the cost of a new racing crank, this new Sugino double will still be a good deal. Nothing looks like a good deal compared to an XD-2 triple for $110, so let's not even talk about that anymore.
