Got some frames for sale? List some effin sizes.

I clearly don't understand the frustration in this thread. I am sure Speedvagen understand what they are doing. They are holding an in-person sale. I am sure they understand the pros and cons of this. They understand they won't have the market reach, but probably don't want to deal with 10,000 online inquiries about geometry, etc.

You can be frustrated you don't live near Speedvagen, but let's not accuse them of being idiots who don't know how to run a business.

You must have stopped by one of their booths at one of the NAHBS events as well…

I'd go just to see all the mustache wax and fancy dress

The people watching is going to be 11/10

Haha yes, and I think it cuts both ways....Clean and XX seem to feel slighted by the roll-out.

Garage sales are so weird.

Slighted? No. Just think it’s a silly business decision.

Yeah, I see no issues with it. It makes it ‘fun’ vs swallowed up into a black hole of online inquiries about HT size and seatmast heights.

I would never buy one of these bikes now as they’re too rich for my blood, but the one I owned for a decade was an amazing riding bike and that is the bottom line. They are nice bikes.

I guess I see the frustration about their business decisions being questionable, but in the end, it’s their business…?

[PQJ]

They make really nice bicycles, to my eye at least. One day I hope to own one. First up, though, will be my first carbon fiber frame (brand TBD; won't be Pinarello), then a Colnago Master X Light, then a second Sachs (if I can commission one).
