I think that, coupled with the bike boom in general, interest in Rivs has grown exponentially into a somewhat more mainstream "alt" bike world through social media and complimentary brands like Crust, Simworks etc. Hopefully it plateaus at a sustainable height at some point. If you have a

I remember when we received the first batch of Quickbeams. The green ones. They sold out pretty fast. Not in two minutes, but maybe in two weeks. So we ordered another 100, and the second stack languished for a long time, piled in the middle of what is now the showroom. They eventually sold.

That might be true. I know that there were 45 frames and there will be 99 completes so the odds are a little higher for the potential buyer. I am shocked that they sold out that fast. Was the entire shipment sold out that quickly or just some sizes and colors. I do see there is still a large

I think the completes will sell out just as fast except for the largest size. The bike market has been forever changed because of the pandemic. It is going to take 5 years for the supply chain to adjust to a 10% increase in world wide demand. On Thursday, August 12, 2021 at 1:34:04 PM UTC-7

The completes are in September. They might be an easier grab than just the frame. Maybe you can grab one and swap parts and sell whatever is extra? It is such a crazy market. I know that Rivendell doesn't like it any more than we do. On Thursday, August 12, 2021 at 3:59:14 PM UTC-4 Andrew

I immediately called Riv in shock. I was to the second and I just can't believe the cart doesn't hold an item for 20 seconds to finalize. I also called some dealers and was told that no dealer has any. I would love to be proved wrong. The second issue is it seems dealers only will sell if you
