Ordinarily, I'd agree. In the case of Rivendell however, I've learned that the things that are out-of-stock are usually going to be back in-stock quite quickly, if you are patient. They seem to stock what they can afford to purchase and keep in inventory, but are committed to the validity and value of the products that they carry. Most on-line bike shops stock and sell whatever they can get in bulk and for the best bargain at the time and, when it's gone, it's either gone for good or it takes a long, long time to re-stock.
In my case, I can't think of many things that Riv sells that represent such an immediate "need" that I can't wait a bit. The thing I do get frustrated with is that I'll often put off placing an order to wait for one item to come back in-stock, only for one of the other items I was going to order to go out-of-stock. It would be nice to have the option to backorder out-of-stock items and have the whole order ship later, in order to minimize shipping costs.
