Apparently Riv has sold out of 1400 of their stubby front derailers. I know that isn't true. I'm sure they ordered that number and they will be coming in shipments and some are held back for builds, but I was bummed to see that they are sold out.

I was close to ordering one and noticed they were gone! I was surprised but maybe people just bought several to have on hand. Manual front shifting is actually fine for me because I have a nice gear range with the 13-42.

If either of you are desperate for one, let me know. I bought a huge bike box from Riv to prepare a shipment, ended up not using the box and returned it to Rivendell. Rather than make them go through the hassle of a refund for what was my issue, I bought one of the skeleton key front derailers for my own inventory. I don't desperately need it.

Thank you Bill! I was just going to order it to have, so I’m sure someone needs it more than me.

Well, these seem to be in stock again. Maybe they showed up with the Rosco Plats?
