Trying to get a mountain bike to get back into it. Haven't ridden road in about 5 years due to an injury.
Think I'm dead set on the trek remedy 8 and call my local dealer to see if they have any. On backorder until spring or summer of next year. Closest store that has one in stock is in Missouri. Anyone have any connections with trek?

I saw a Specialized hardtail at my local shop for almost ten thousand dollars.
$10,000. For a hardtail. |

Feel your pain. Want to replace my 10 year old road bike this year.
Not asking for much. Want a carbon frame, relaxed geometry, hydraulic discs and ultegra components (not di2). None to be had across any product lines. |

A lot of bikes are showing a 2022 delivery date right now. |

Wonder what the deal is with their logistics.
Most bikes models are made in Asia, with just the tier 1 shit made in Waterloo, WI. Wonder if some stupid universal component is made in some covid shutdown Chinese factory or something? |

I had my Trek 7300 tuned up before Christmas at the local store where we purchased it, and they only had a handful of bikes in the store. Several of those were expensive electric bikes.
Here's what it's supposed to look like.

BMX is the same, except the UK and Aussies are playing the same game as folks here in the US. Buying frames, forks and collecting parts for a build. Skyways is claiming they can't find a shipping container, meanwhile SE racing is finding a way to make it happen.

Trek was also pivoting manufacturing out of China when Covid hit as well. I'm seeing models previously made in China coming out of Cambodia and Vietnam now |

I finally took my cannondale caffeine 29er that I bought on eBay years ago to a bike shop to fit a new set of forks
That’s small task has been crazy. First getting bearings was impossible as they are all chinesium And I didn’t want the original lefty style fork that went with it. I bought it was just a used frame. Hopefully buying the other components won’t be too bad. Need brake system and cranks, and shifter. Also seat post. And I want to try a Hobson style saddle. Also still have my 1990(?) rockhopper - I think Not a lot of miles on it and mostly rails to trails. That will be my fishing bike for trips to the youghiogeny river and maybe a few others |

A friend owns a local bike shop. I was talking to him about supply issues, and he said he had just placed an order for bikes with a delivery date in 2022! He can get frames no problem, but the components are scarce. SRAM and Shimano have their own supply/production issues, plus the massive uptick in bike sales.

If you can get them to warranty it do that for now and order a set of Shimano's. They may take 8 months to get in but at least you can rely on them working. |

Canyon Spectral 7 is in stock in L and XL. Nice full squish trail bike.
Bike market was so bad in 2020 that I ended up replacing everything but the frame and bars on mine (rear shock rebuilt by Fox, forks replaced) instead of a new bike. |

I couldn't pass up the used bike prices a few months ago and sold both my Trek Superfly FS and my Cannondale F29 for more than I paid for them - and I got to use them for 2 years.
I figured that I could last for a year or so and then pick up a used bike for considerably cheaper when everyone is headed back into the office instead of working from home and a glut of used bikes is dumped into the second-hand market, or production catches up. |
