Shimano delays
Does anyone know anything about delays in Shimano's production this
year? Dahon's 2004 line of folding bikes has been considerably delayed this year, with some 2004 models not expected until late summer or even fall. One of the reasons they give for this is delays in receiving Shimano components. Has Shimano been having delays in production this year? Has this been affecting other manufacturers, or is Dahon just low in the pecking order? Sorry if this is a matter of common knowledge which everyone has been discussing, but I did google the group first to try to find previous mentions. |

Shimano delays
According to my friendly salesperson/mechanic at the LBS, Shimano is indeed
undergoing a severe shortage of higher-end components. He said he heard about it last November, and a bike he ordered back in January still isn't here yet because of a lack of the Shimano parts...I didn't ask him what brand/model...but sounds like what you heard was true.

It's true - it's been almost impossible to get Ultegra stuff for months. I've been selling a lot of Campy stuff as a result (and the customers have realized after the fact that's what they should have ordered in the first place).

There are several very good Taiwanese brand components which are as good as Shimano, but no one wants the "Taiwano" brands, they want the name brand. TW-Bents is experiencing this same supply problem. One of the owners went to Japan to personally visit Shimano and all he got was 300 sets of deraileurs. Michael J.
