In Jackson's preview video there was a 3 second segment where I thought I heard him breathing heavy. I hope he's feeling okay!😄

Never said it wasn’t valid. Said take it to a different thread at this point. Just like CS length talk in tech rumors.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a few scenarios emerge in the next few months that weren't on anyone's bingo card.

I kinda think it's a natural reaction. What I like about this site is we mostly appear to be grownups and things get diffused. On the other one it usually escalates. It feels ridiculous to type this out, but somehow there's a nicer vibe here. Sorry for the derail.

Cool, but based on comments from Oisin and Andi Kolb it sounds like they are not even getting paid right now. If YT comes back maybe they'll sell to people who don't know, but they have lost so much goodwill. This isn't the first time they have dumped their riders/team. And we're just seeing the situation for the most public employees of the brand, lots of other staff are affected.

You guys know that the Chris Currie designed custom ti made to order full suspension bikes with all the 3d printed parts that Josh Ogle and Firefly are building now are $30,000, right? Firefly ships a few custom road bikes every month that easily cost $15-20,000. My friends at Ritte also sell a few $15k custom ti road bikes with custom 3d printed parts and nice finishines every month, too. Specialized is way behind the curve when it comes to making expensive bikes these days, imo. (No sarcasm here friends… but when only the rich are getting richer, Veblen Goods...

Just listening to the OTB podcast . Rumor from them is that the YT truck got repossessed and the team won't have the funds to make the north American rounds . Pretty rubbish situation all round .

Cool that sram are making a big effort for their athletes but personally I think all the 50/50 colour schemes look terrible. Wasn’t working for Pivot last year, isn’t working for the syndicate or norco this year. Frameworks knocked it out the park with the American chopper video 😂

You could probably get a vastly superior quality custom paint job from someone like Fat Creations for less, but that fact won't get anywhere near the thought process of the average buyer of this bike.

Lol, people buying a $20,000 S-works (the most expensive mainstream bicycle on the market) are not worried about 'shady' markup behavior. A $150k Mercedees isn't anywhere near 6x the cost to manufacture than a Ford Focus. A ton more margin in higher-end products. And people who are buying those products know it.
