My buddy is shooting you an email regarding his order. It seems there was a slight mix up. :\
my brother said he emailed a 'ride' shirt before xmas and never got it. but he's a dumbass and when I said "are you sure you finished the order" he said "well I thought I did"
his name was samuel dixon, if it's possible to look that up. he's borderline ********.
edit: wow it censored the R word

What do you mean he e-mailed an order? At any rate, there are no orders under that name.

I blame Angie. ;)
We're fixing it for him.
I meant 'ordered' not emailed, I'm an idiot. Either way, I figured it what his fault. Thanks for clearing it up
Any chance you stock Sugino Zen chain rings? Wanting to grab the 75 cranks, BB and chain ring all from one place. Right now Track supermarket is the only place with all three in stock....But it's out of Japan, and shipping may take forever.

We currently don't stock them but are in the process of getting accounts with a few more distributors so we'll have them at some point soon.

You and me both! But I don't have an extra $200 laying around... especially when bills are due.

Haha, I would like to sell my 75's before I buy another crankset. Mental accounting.

You guys should fight for them. I'll give the winner a discount.
Did you ever get my payment and email? Lol

Scrod,
Any idea if you'll have the 'V.track' straps & MKS Sylvan Track pedals (combo) back in stock around January 17th? My wife is getting her ss/fg that day and I want to swap out the crap pedals it comes with for something quality with retention. She's scared to death of clips and standard cages. When I showed her these on your site she seemed genuinely interested in attempting to learn to use them.

We're making a small batch right now that should be done by next week.

Scrod, just got those returned Sram Omniums. If it's cool, can you guys hold them until I add a couple of other things to the order? I just didn't want them to be sold to someone else.
Also, any idea when silver Velo Solo chainrings will be in stock, 144bcd - 48T?
Scrodzilla
01-07-12, 06:30 PM
No prob, man.
I need to check with VeloSolo about the silver rings. We've been ridiculously busy getting the new shop ready but I put it on my to-do list for Monday.
BigglyPuff
01-08-12, 04:37 PM
^I heard that, I've read your posts in other threads. No worries, I'll probably end up going with a black chain ring anyway.
However, I would like to get an FSA orbit x in silver from you, either that or the Tange Techno-glide, but you're out of both.
I'm putting together a list of parts to order and you have pretty much everything else I want. I'm not exactly in a rush to get the omniums and everything else if the headsets aren't too far away.
Scrodzilla
01-08-12, 06:55 PM
Right on, man. We've been slacking a little with reordering some stuff because we're trying to minimize how much stuff we'll need to move but I did just place an FSA order on Friday. Once we get all settled in, a LOT more stuff will be hitting the site.

perhaps someone already asked but when are you getting those kinlin build kits back?
BigglyPuff
01-09-12, 02:19 PM
Nice, sounds good. So I might have to ask you to hold on to those omniums for a while then, hope it's not a problem. I'd rather wait and knock out everything in one shipment then place a bunch of separate orders. Is that cool?

The build kits were causing way too much confusion for a lot of people (for whatever reason). We adjusted the prices of the individual parts so it adds up to the same total as the kit price.

No problem at all. When you place the second order, we'll adjust the shipping charge so you don't have to pay the full charge for both orders and refund you the difference.
BigglyPuff
01-09-12, 05:00 PM
Perfect, that's exactly what I was hoping for.
I just hope it doesn't turn into an extended thing where you keep adding more parts and I keep asking you to hold the shipment.
Hey.. is my package still being shipped to my other address... or did i never send it..?
Edit: never mind, I see that you cancelled it. Thanks.
Scrodzilla
01-10-12, 05:30 PM
Yeah, man...I relaized I never changed the address as I was sticking the label to the box. I'm glad I caught it!
Sorry man. I'll remember to put the right addresses from now on.. lol

Thanks dude! The place is still a mess. Plumbing is going in next week and then we'll get settled and take pics.

Because we're in the Historic District, all signage need to be approved by City Hall but we'll try our best.

I'd think something with a vintage look to it, like a high wheeler (the first fixed gear) and an old track bike with wood rims.

Hey Scrod, I know this is dealt with in the FAQ section on the site, but I've been hoping to toss a deda rs01 in 27.2 mm dia. on my (very near future) order of an I806TR fork from you guys. It's been a few weeks if I remember correctly, do you have any idea when/if this will be back in? Thanks for your time.
Scrodzilla
01-14-12, 05:54 PM
We've got one black and one white 27.2 RS01 in stock. I806TR forks are on the way but can easily be drop-shipped from Leader's warehouse in the meantime.
solipsist716
01-14-12, 06:07 PM
I meant I05TR but my brain and my hands are rarely on the same page. Since there's no drop-down menu for the 27.2's should I just write it as a note on my order for the fork and you'll tack on the charge before shipping? Thanks for answering dude.
Scrodzilla
01-14-12, 06:26 PM
I05TR has always been in stock. Those Deda seatposts should show up now.
solipsist716
01-14-12, 06:54 PM
No, I know, I didn't mean to make it seem as if the fork was out of stock, I was saying I hoped to be able to make one order with both the fork and seatpost instead of waiting for the deda to come back in and making a separate order, haha.

Scrod,
When talking about the new 722's a while back, I thought I recall you mentioning steeper angles, would that result in using a fork with less rake? Also, have you seen a geometry chart yet? I'm curious of head tube lengths since the head tube is now a one-piece deal. I'm going to be bumping up to a 53cm frame and basically want to know if I may be able to reuse my current fork or if I will need to purchase a new one.
Scrodzilla
01-16-12, 09:49 AM
I'm pretty sure the fork used with the Heritage Edition frameset will have less rake. I haven't seen a geo chart yet but hopefully I'll have that info soon.

In the near future, I want to get a velosolo chainring, but its gonna be for my mtb. So I could need a 104 bcd, 34t ring.
How much would it be? Or should I just order straight from their site?
http://www.velosolo.co.uk/vsmtbringpol.html
Scrodzilla
01-18-12, 06:17 AM
We most likely won't stock the 104 bcd rings so it would be best to order it directly from them.
