I’m aware of the global supply chain issues for bike components. I naively assumed that builders charging such a premium (Moots) might have amassed a cache of components.
I am in the early stages of “Ti-curiousness”. I thought that my only obstacle was stacks of cash, now I see that its also months of waiting.
