I think they only have 1 model of their house brand 2 person tent left, and it’s a sucky one. They all went 25% off this morning. Maybe supply chain problems?

I don't know how to break this to you, but it's springtime.
Velo Gator . did.
Anyone else currently have a Cervelo? Mrs Bah Humbug , otherwise known as AG, has one, I think. Did patentcad have one for a time? 
And then there was Soloist Assassin.

Some lubes, like DuMonde, recommend completely stripping the chain, so I wouldn't imagine that you're screwed at all. I don't know for sure, but I would imagine that when you go with the a-drop-for-every-roller method, the lube kind of wicks between the pins and the rollers.
Also, FWIW, having a chain that's stripped and dry is 90% of the hassle of the waxing process behind you. If you had a crock pot and wax mix on hand, it would probably take literally 5 minutes of hands-on time to complete.

I went through a WW phase. I spent a ton of time deciding on every part of a super light build. I did a lot of weighing stuff. It was a ton of fun and handwringing at its best. Finished product was based on the first strong but light race frame, the R3SL. Under 6kg.
You can virtually ride my Cervelo.

So question: If I do the ultrasonic chain cleaning and then just apply regular lube, how screwed am I? My impression is that the lube is stripped from the inside of the rollers. Getting into the wax thing sounds like something I'd rather not mess with at the moment, but I do want to get a stupid clean chain. I installed a new one on the Crockett recently and the factory grease gunk is already just black and nasty.

Yes, only one model. I've been looking at Hubba tents. And REI doesn't carry them.

Light, though nowhere near as light as sbxx's Cervelo.

sbxx, I've always meant to ask how the Time Machine rides? Does it handle as well as it goes fast?

Okay, so I found it mildly amusing when, on a walk to the grocery store, a lady dodged around a boulevard tree to avoid passing me at ~4.5 feet. Even more amusing, at least as a minority, was seeing white people crossing the street to avoid other white people.

Passed a rider today. She said hi. I said "don't breathe."
