Yep. Don't think it's shipped yet.. but I'm sure it will.

Intended content aside, the images of the barren racks in the warehouse in the latest TPC video is telling

Yeah they’re done. Everything is sold no returns which is very telling.

Last week they had 20+ bikes in me size. Today? One.

Turn out the lights. The party's over.

At least this should help correct listing prices of used gear on here. I don’t believe TPC is giving anyone an amazing deal right now, if you’ve bought or sold anything on ebay, fb, Craigslist over the past year, you’d find TPC sales are similar to used prices everywhere else for bike gear.

Idk, pretty happy with saving about $6k retail (2-3k vs best online price i see) on a new w/ warranty bike I impulsively purchased last night …I don’t see it for anywhere near that price. The used bikes look like less of a deal in some cases!

This has always been the case with TPC--they sell new overstock items at great prices, and used junk bikes at mediocre-at-best prices.

Well it is official

I wonder if it is too late for a last minute buyer.

Yep, I got some great deals last December on Shimano pedals, Vittoria tires, and some miscelaneous helmets, shoes, gloves, etc. Think those were final sale too but can't recall.

I did check again and don't see much worth buying. I missed out on some of the good deals on things like EKAR groupsets and SRAM 11 speed chains. To me it mostly looks like trinkets and trash now.

Does anybody have an unused $40 off 200 coupon they wouldn't mind sharing? One last item I'm thinking about snagging but need that extra little nudge...

I got email from them this morning that says "thanks for your patience. We are swamped and will ship your item as soon as we can."

Let's hope so.
