anybody catch this?

Update: July 15, 2008

At this time, I have decided to close the order book to new clients for Richard Sachs Signature frames effective August 15, 2008. If you are currently contemplating a purchase and holding an order form, I encourage you to remit in the near future.

Please note that I will continue to accept new orders from current and previous Richard Sachs clients.

WTF?? I asked him at NAHMBS if he was gonna retire any time soon. He said and I quote "I'm young, no effin way!" or something like that.....Darren will you order me a bike?

[Mabouya]

Maybe he's short on cash and wants to create a surge in deposits... :D

...if I wasn't already stressed out enough about Matty B., now I need to get my crap together and get mine placed before planned (I was planning a trip out East in October...) Sigh. I am wondering if my Sach's lugs on my Rivendell will qualify me as a return customer? (-:

With this news, how many years will be added to the wait list between now and 8/15?

Under the wire!

[imike]

Nooooooo!:eek: Nooooooomo!

[Shinomaster]

I wonder if he would take a pile of custom coffee cups as a deposit.

[Sasha]

Is that a temporary or permanent hiatus?

I admire Mr. Sachs for his accomplishments but there is no way I can justify waiting 6 years for an item I want to be on now. It's a friggin bicycle and today I rode one 30 miles and enjoyed it all the way. I know that one of his bicycles would be as good as it gets but in all honesty a Sachs underneath
me would be like putting earrings on a pig.:beerglass:

While attending an Arlo Guthrie concert he said something to the effect that he plucked his songs from the celestial river of songs but the only problem being that he was always fishing downstream from Bob Dylan....

We are here. I will gladly fish downstream from eRichie.

u guys have to ride one of these signature bikes to experience. or even see one in person and examine it. its in my freaking living room. soon it'll be regrouped with red and racing 1's.

another deposit check is in the mail. i'll be a happy guy in 6years

speaking of happy.... i need a cold beer!

[Dave]

I am in! rapped with e-richie and sent in my deposit.

I had to do it and 6 years will allow me time to get in the kind of shape and experience needed to truly ride it.

I know it is a long way away, but somehow I am giddy like a child.

beer:30 here too, what a coinkydink

beer:30 here too, what a coinkydink

Time to ride now...then porch party at my house.

[swoop]

i'm having existential death anxiety over this. and when i sit down to do bills... i will be sending in a check.

i can't go through life having the possibility to own a sachs frame and not take it. that would be stupid and i'd regret it on the death bed. i don't want my dying thought to be that i'm an asshat for not buying in.


*i've got to hold this form for another 6 or seven years? i'm so tired of being hungry as it is.....

[ThasFACE]

I had my bike budget all planned out for the summer and now this happens.

Must get on list. Must.
