Smart timing move on your part too. Right now up thru 1st part of october is best time of year. Any biz sees patterns. In what I do I see it too. When first states start getting cold up north bikes start coming apart and the industry gets busier. As cold whether drops south you see the phone ring from farther south too and it just keeps getting busier and busier. By winter its game on and everyone is running full tilt. Closer you get to bike week in the spring it goes from full tilt busy to holy chit status.. add in the wait till spring procrastinators, spring bike purchases, spring manufacturer new product releases and she goes to OMG this chit is fokkin insane status.. She runs wide open all summer and it starts tapering back off about early to mid august. Bike biz workers get to breath a lil and start designing up for next season while america starts prepping the kids for school and college.. then the cycle ( no pun intended) starts all over. Timing is everything. Smart guys get in and gitter done during the slower months. Waiting until total chaos peak season only brings longer wait times and self inflicted consumer frustration. Theres so many custom parts runnin thru the veins of this country during spring its like a huge clogged artery and every manufacturer & chromer in the country has longer wait times due to workloads.
