And to plagiarize myself a bit from that convo, some of us older dudes carry a stigma about step-throughs/mixtes that anyone under 30 would consider baffling. In reality it's just a tube brazed down lower on another tube instead of up higher, and most modern road and mountain bikes have

Well, I bought a lottery ticket for a Clem and now I wait. Not sure how I feel about this system but it does seem a more fair way to sell the limited amount of bikes. This may be the new normal for awhile until the cargo backlog clears up. I read somewhere that the cost per bike to ship by

Good point, Johnny. We do that for our custom frames. For the stock frames, the list "sells out," and people are disappointed that they didn't know about the pre-sale. It's not an issue with customs because each bike is made for the person who is ordering it. With stock frames, we order a

In sizes larger than 57cm, the tubing for Roadeo isn't much different than their other previous road-going designs and is similar to the Ram and AHH. It's the size 57 and below that gets the light 7/4/7 tubing...at least for the original Waterford-built renditions. Based on that, my guess is

As we have discovered, there's no perfect method these days. Pre-selling is *still* based on a specific number of frames/bikes. That's how we have to order them: "100 of _, please." And when the pre-sale "sells out" and someone didn't know about it, they're just as disappointed and

I missed out on a Platypus frame. I had one in my cart and then it disappeared in the time it took to click purchase. I think the lottery system is more fair than the present. I would be happy to pre-order, but many places that do so also sellout very quickly. I guess the next iteration is a
