We have a secret location tucked away in the corner of an old warehouse building but we're not really open to the public so we're just online - for now.

Goodies came today! Whatever people might say about say about the shipping costs, it's worth it because you guys do an great job packing. I can't wait to put these wheels together.

The shipping costs are reasonable for the scale of the business. Even shipping a set of pedals or a set of bars that weigh nothing with the cheapest USPS option available (no tracking and slow as heck) costs more than $5. Yea, sure, no one likes to pay for shipping... but it's not like Scrod's overcharging us for shipping to make a profit.

My point was that given a choice of free shipping from e-bay guy and Retrogression's shipping, I'd take Retrogression's. E-bay guy keeps screwing me on the shipping

Errr I just checked the website and you can't use a quill stem/ threaded steerer with one.... memory fail sowwrrry :X

But if you want 1 inch threadless fork...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Devolution is 1 1/8" threadless to 1" threadless... can't devo it AND gripnut it I do not think... Prove me wrong?

And Scrod, if the frames end up being a hit, are there chances of more colors in the future?

No. They're won't look different, I think they're just solving some clearance issues.

Currently finishing up a batch.

Sorry for the delay on these...we've had way too many other things going on and not enough time or hands.

No worries. A few people including myself suggested a small place to clip a bike light on it.

I'm excited to see v2. I'll be checking the site daily to get my hands on one :)

Scrod, do you have any good pics of the silver Kinlins on your site? I was looking at some lighter low spoke rims for my front wheel and wondered how they look.
Scrodzilla
08-11-11, 11:41 AM
I don't but these pics from the Wheelworks site are a good example:

They're not super high-polish but they have a really nice finish.

Hahaha! Still up in the air. I'll keep you posted.

In other news, we are now an official Velocity dealer and have access to their entire catalog. It may be a while before I can get all the stuff up on the site but in the meantime if anyone needs anything,

Pedals and double straps I ordered are on their way from NH!! So excited! And since you're now a dealer for Velocity, are your prices going to be generally the same?
Scrodzilla
08-12-11, 10:39 AM
We still need to sit down and hammer out the math but our prices will be comparable to what's out there (if not a little better). :)

Would anyone else besides me have interest in MSW Derp V wheelsets? In black and silver perhaps?
