Tough economy huh Rich? Must be nice...... You might be great, but five years and no longer accpeting orders? You ain't that great.
Kind of reminds me of the dermatolgist that is "booked for the next 6 months" or "not accepting new patients at this time." I'm sorry but if you can't find +/-30 minutes someone into your scedule for the next 180 days you went to med school for the wrong friggin reasons.

Richard Sachs is not taking any more orders because he's remodeling his company. he's retiring the 'Richard Sachs' line-up marketing logo and once finished- he's going to launch a brand of ultra-highend art/bikes...
everything will be gold plated, un-rideable (as they will be works of art only) and will be under the new brand of "Dick Sachs"

If you don't have one (really, I'm quite surprised), then it's reason enough to know I'll never need one.

^^^ If the younger generation ever manages to stop playing Halo and get off the couch to go learn how to ride a bicycle, it'll be a minor miracle, let alone build a frame.

Honestly, the draw just hasn't been there for me.
Now if he called me up and said "terry b, you've done more than anyone I know to promote the work of independent builders on the internet and I want you on one of my bikes so I'm moving you to the head of the line", I would think a bit about it.
