Also, using the term "lottery" for the sale of the Rosco-Platy is inaccurate.
Riv has in the past done a lottery drawing for highly-anticipated frames (I
think they did this on the last Clem-L run), where they knew that they had way
more demand than they could supply. They tried what they thoug
Another thing they said in the pre-sale email was that they're introducing
a 10% re-stocking fee. I don't blame them. Other businesses have had
re-stocking charges for their products for many years. There's a good
reason for that. Also, I'm reading in the news lately that it costs
businesse
A word about "pre-sale lottery", it's the same as if they quietly put the
frames on the site and took orders until they sold out. This way everybody
knows when to order instead of just checking a website and hoping they're
there. I don't understand the verklemptitude here.

Sheesh James, did you not read any replies here about the sale not
happening until 1 hour and 20 minutes from now ? Or, is that story of
"whoa is me" so entertaining that you're gonna miss it for real this time !

The pre-sale lottery sucks. Many other industries use it, to build excitement
and make people want stuff. I don’t like it.
I want no part of this.

James, how did you determine they were already sold out when the page you
landed on announces when the presale begins? The title of this thread has
presale in it so you knew the frame wasn't available yet.

Rivendell does not mass produce frames, they build as many as they can
afford to build without going into a lot of debt is my understanding. I've
received several notifications by email and on Instagram about this presale
so if I were planning to buy one I would be online today at 3:00 PM PST. I
"The factory can make more" is objectively FALSE in the case of the R05C0
8U883. The only reason these framesets exist is because the fork vendor
screwed up. If the fork vendor didn't screw up, there would be no frames.
The number of Roscos on offer is equal to the number of screwed up forks*
'The factory can make more' is a huge assumption that is likely not true in
the current manufacturing/supply chain climate.

The detail that we all SHOULD be pissed about is that they have made a
R05C0 8U883 frame set with NO LIFT-A-TUBE!!! It's gotta have a
lift-a-tube! That's an unforgiveable oversight.
I'm kidding about being pissed
I'm not kidding that I loved the lift-a-tube on my two previous R05C0 8U883

James,
As everyone mentioned, sale is today and Riv has sent out many emails stating
this.
I know that the folks at Riv wish they could make everyone happy and get a bike
to everyone who wants one. They’ve been very open about their increasing costs
both with manufacturing and shipping as wel
Should we email him off-list also? In case he left in a huff?

The email I received from Rivendell indicated that the pre-sale begins on
Thursday July 14th at noon Pacific. That is about 5 hours from now (it is
now 7AM Pacific on Thursday July 14th). I think "Sold Out" is the expected
status for a pre-sale opportunity that has not yet started.
