The trainwreck that was the entire bike industry post-COVID was really something.  "Wait, we're not going to grow sales like this every year?"  100% predictable to every outside observer.

I was browsing the site earlier this morning, looks like there were some good deals on stuff but I missed out on anything I would have been interested in. When I was shopping for a bike a few years ago I tried looking on The Pros Closet and the prices on used bikes were a little insane, that is part of the reason I ended up buying a new Stumpjumper from my LBS instead of searching for a used one.

I've been wanting to add a dropper post to one of my bikes. I'll have to cross check what they have with what I need. I had a shop spec one out for me a couple of years ago, but I decided that I had already spent enough having the bike built and couldn't afford a $600 seat post at that point.

In reply to Woody (Forum Supportum) :

They don't have all sizes. But this is a pretty good deal on a sweet dropper.

also pnw components will usually go on sale on Black Friday. They make solid droppers.

What killed me with them was I literally was miles from their warehouse and I couldn't even test ride a bike for sale there. Not a surprise that they are going out of business. The covid boom to bust has killed a lot of bike shops and more and more are becoming factory stores.

Shame to see it.  They had lots of articles and good info on their website.
