I checked the website the very hour they went on sale and there was no 55cm, so either they didn't get that size or if they had one it sold instantly. All the other sizes were out of stock by the end of the day I believe.
Well, we aren't losing money as much as not being able to sell as much as we (or customers) would like. The Keirin Purples were a limited run so we ran out quickly (plus splitting them between frames and complete bikes). We had more Autumn Coppers but the demand was so high that they all went within a day.
Unfortunately, the supply chain issues in Taiwan are out of our control, but a lot of other companies are in the same boat. Everyone is just waiting their turn. It will probably resolve itself in about a year....
