My opinion is the Atlantis, AHH, Rodeo, and Hunqapillar are made in small batches by I believe Waterford. This is why it may take 4 months to get one. Rivendell has specific buyers already on order with a deposit. They don't have to worry about over ordering. They can still offer these bikes without too much worry on supply chain because they are a guaranteed sell when ordering.
The other bikes made in Taiwan are ordered in larger batches and why they do the pre order. Rivendell is ordering the Taiwan bikes with out having all specific buyers. They are taking a chance of selling them all. Hope this makes sense. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
