What's Up?
In a recent "Zack G." video, he said that something "big was up at Wabi". What...? New bikes, new equipment? Anyone wants to guess? I know their sales are going through the roof but their product line hasn't changed in years. Colors haven't changed very much too. What gives?

OP, since you are quite the Zach fan, why not start a thread for Zach and update it? Just a suggestion, so I can avoid reading about Zach 😂.
Just a suggestion.

The fact that Wabi's are seemingly always on backorder reminds me of that restaurant.
Why on earth would they want to change anything?

Who this Zach guy is, I haven't a clue. And I'm not motivated to check in on him. Never been much of a Wabi fanatic, even if I do like them and appreciate what they are contributing to the bike community. Their frames look very nice and I heard their wheelsets are quite nice also.
I guess if I were to get really excited about any brand it would be All City as I am a proud owner of a Big Block, the very first version, cherry red sparkle and white socks. Love it. Since it came out there have been several modifications but I like mine just fine.

I don't "hang out" on this section of the forum but I get the idea there are some "inside jokes" that exist. Regular readers, especially those that have been around for awhile seem to know the people and personalities here way better than myself.

The OP has started multiple threads about Zach's comings and goings, and I think a concentrated thread is probably a good idea. That way I can know it's Zach related and completely ignore 😂.
I agree on Wabi. If I was in the market for "another" road type modern fixed gear, they would be on the short list. I've always appreciated them, except for the weird frame design thing they had with certain cranks (if I remember correctly).
I personally feel like All City and Soma are criminally underrated. Both make/have made some wonderful frames. They don't seem to be as popular are some other brands for some reason.

Wabi really needs to add more colors to their lineup. A custom color for $200 is steep! We need more reds and purples.
