Jason makes a great point. Things have a better chance of turning up when you call or email for specifics rather than refreshing that product page! If you get a definitive idea of when those parts will be back in stock at Paul it will help you decide if you want to purchase from Blue Lug

Plus, they also have a supply chain. They're not mining the bauxite, smelting the aluminum and fabricating the CNC tools themselves; their suppliers are constrained in all the same ways as everyone else, and the delays magnify through each stage. Peter "sad, but true" Adler Berkeley, CA On

Regarding Paul components and supply/restock. I've ordered special stuff from Paul several times over the years and always had fantastic and very personal service. And sometimes they've even "found" stuff for me that wasn't available on the website. That said, they have mentioned more than once

I emailed Paul a production forecasting question a while back and the man himself sent me a reply with estimated dates, might be worth doing for this too! I am surprised they've been out this long, being that they are their own supply chain On Sat., Mar. 27, 2021, 7:30 p.m. brendonoid, wrote: >

Thanks guys, yeah I've had the motolites at blue lug in a cart for weeks. I just know that when I finally cave and pay the $95 premium price that Paul will restock the next day. The shipping is actually pretty samey for me, 70 USD-ish from Japan or the US. Good ol' Australia tax, I'm used to

Blue Lug shipping certainly is costly, but it's actually very quick - I had my last order show up within 48 hours of checking out! My Riv order placed the same day took an additional 3 weeks to show up. Seems like a great option if you can stomach the cost premium On Saturday, 27 March

One solution: Blue Lug has motolites and love levers in stock in a few different colors. Higher cost all around plus slow, spendy shipping. On Friday, March 26, 2021 at 8:54:16 PM UTC-4 brendonoid wrote: > Ordering from Riv just puts you in the queue, sadly. > > On Friday, 26 March 2021 at

Pretty sure there's also a note on the Riv site about how they don't stock *any* Paul parts and they order from Paul as needed because they're nearby. So likely if you order from Riv you'd face the same availability issues. Pardon my assumptions! Call Riv when they open? On Friday, March 26,
