He also said they don't come with wide loaders, just how pictured. I forgot to ask about disk brake hubs, sorry. He did say that Aaron's in West Seattle already has five on back-order and they expect them to ship by the end of the month. I'm not sure where Aaron's is, but it seems like this is the one he's referring to.
When I ordered mine, the bike shop said that the Sun rep mentioned that he/she had 150 units inbound, and that 130 of them were sold ( meaning sold on the wholesale level to bike shops who had ordered them ) and 20 were still available. Assuming that I got one of the 20 since my shop had no stock units on order, there were 19 unallocated Sun Cargos left as of last week. Makes sense to me that somewhere with a much larger cycling community than we have, Seattle, would have a shop that had already ordered 5 bikes. Interesting. Thanks for the info.
