They're pretty nice for the money. Angie will be taking some pics this week and they'll be up on site as soon as she does.

How much $ are we talking?

Also, 165mm?

They'll be around 70-75 bucks (110mm BB not included). They're available in black, silver, gold and white.

Here's a quick phone pic to tide you over:

I think we may be the only one who has them so far.

We also just got a bunch of All-City Big Block completes if anyone's interested. :D

Yo, I should be placing an order soon, within the week. Several questions.

Silver 1" FSA Orbit X, restocking any time soon?
Silver 1" headset spacers, can you get me some?
Thomson seat post collars, can you get your hands on them?
whats the bottom bracket tool for installing a Dura Ace 7700?

Sorry...I forgot to answer when you asked about the Thomson collar before. I can get you one for 24 bucks.

Headset spacers are actually going up on the site soon because tons of people ask for them and it will be much easier if everyone can just buy what they need off the site instead of e-mailing, calling, etc. to make additions to their orders.

Silver Orbit-X headsets are on backorder. Not sure when we're getting them.

Off the top of my head, I think you need the Park BBT-22 and the BBT-7 to tighten the lockring.

It's cool, thanks. Do you know of any alternatives to the Orbit X that you can get?

We've got the silver IRD TechnoGlide in 1".

Probably around two weeks for the hubs.

I will agree to buy it if you can get me a silver top cap. haha

I'm probably going to break it into two orders. The wheelset, and then everything else.

Looks sort of like Andels or the Cobra crankset (might just be the chainring), but I can definitely see the resemblance to those Token cranks.

Let me know when they're definitely available; I might have to take a trip out to Beverly this week.

I just checked on Thomson's website and they only offer a 29.8mm collar. I need a 30mm collar.

.2mm is like.... 8/1000 of an inch. It would fit wouldn't it?

when do the AC completes show up on the site?

Scrodzilla
06-21-12, 08:14 AM
I'm not sure we'll be putting them on the site just yet, as I don't really want to get into shipping complete bikes on a regular basis.

If anyone here is interested though, we can work something out.

Scrod. The time has come. How do I place an order for the stuff that isn't on your site?

Scrodzilla
06-21-12, 10:19 AM
E-mail me a list through the site and I will send you an invoice.

Are you getting any more 130bcd Velo Solo chainrings?

Noticed you have the last two of your VeloSolo chainrings on eBay. Are you trying to clear them out to stop carrying them, or are you expecting another shipment at some point?

As much as I like them, we're probably going to drop them because they just don't sell.

Guessing not.

Thanks, back to trolling eBay for Sugino rings.

You can still buy them directly from Velosolo (http://velosolo.co.uk/shopcrank.html).

Hey scrod, you think you can cut the steerer shim for me to 36mm to match the stack height of the X2?

Scrodzilla
06-21-12, 01:16 PM
I just measured the 40mm shim and it comes in at 37mm.

Scrod do you know if the miche supertype seatpost still has that problem with the bolt breaking?

Scrodzilla
06-21-12, 03:50 PM
I don't know. A friend of ours has been riding on one for a few months and hasn't died yet.

Thanks Scrod, The fork I ordered monday arrived today it's been cut and put on my bike already. I love the way it looks and more importantly feels.

Are you still planning to sell Traitor framesets?

Scrodzilla
06-22-12, 11:56 AM
Right on...glad it got to you quickly.

We've been going back and forth over the idea. I know Traitor fixed the seatpost binder problem on the Ringleader frames but I'm not sure there will be enough interest in them.

OK I'm just spitballing which frame I want to replace my Dawes with I've got it down to a BigBlock or a NSF unless I can find a deal on a Steamroller or a Cutlass. I should have just bought one of those Excell's you had in the spring

Our main H+Son distributor only stocks 32h but I may be able to work some magic.

Dude, I love magic. For half the cost of the 380's, and they're slightly deeper, and only slightly heavier, I think I will go with them, when the wheel build comes.

you gonna be stocking the matte black Pake Frenchs? they look pretty good. hopefully i will be able to pick up a frameset soon.

baller. i'll pick one up when you get them in stock. I like them more than the blue surprisingly. They look so nice.

Me too. The blue looks great on the Rum Runner but I'm not as stoked about it on the French 75.

Same. I like the black on black decals. Looks classy.
will the pricing be the same as the blue?
And you still gonna be having a grand opening party?

Scrodzilla
06-25-12, 09:13 AM
Not quite certain about pricing but I think it will be the same.

Because we do everything ass-backwards and things are always pretty hectic around here, I think we'll be having an end-of-summer party.

Are the logos one the 144 Eighth inch cranksets painted? Or sticker?

Debating on the silver ones, but the inside of the crank arm bugs me a little.

Scrodzilla
06-26-12, 06:08 AM
They're screenprinted. You may be able to remove them with some acetone or lacquer thinner but I'm not sure.

Yo scrod! how big was the box? I live in condo's and They may not be able to fit it in the parcel mail boxes, and I may need to catch the mail man while he's there, so I don't have to pick it up at the post office.
