[Closed] Dream build cancelled. Upset now

I've had to cancel my dream bike build and am in the process of returning stuff after cancelling orders that were awaiting stock. Frame and fork cancelled, brakes, crank and AXS gearing being returned. Just had a large unexpected quote for repairing my car ready for MoT next month. Really upset about it as it really was my dream hardtail. I would return the dropper as well but as it has to go back to PNW in the US I may as well sell it instead. Going to keep the Mavic wheels I ordered and put them on the Scandal that was going to be replaced, but is now staying as my only bike. I'll just have to try to save up and buy everything again next year at some point, the car is more important at the moment. Gutted

Really sorry to hear that. Check your riding mates don't need any of the kit you need to get money for, someone might be currently waiting 'till next year to get what they need and could buy yours off you.

Cancelled because of stock issues or because your car is knackered?

Pace 529 - also waiting for mine.

Could well be interested in the PNW 170 dropper, assume it doesn't come with a lever?

Cancelled because I need the money to fix the car.

Was just waiting on a Pace RC529 frame and a Pike Ultimate 140mm fork, everything else had arrived. Most of it is now going back for a refund so I can afford to repair the car.

Oh well, at least I still have upgraded wheels and new tyres and rotors to ride.

Anyone want to buy a 170mm PNW Loam post (31.6mm diameter)?

@MarkSussex yeah, I have the Loam lever for Sram Matchmaker. Also have a pair of Matchmakers if they are needed.

Just looked up the 529 on the Pace website.

"Designed for slaying steep"

I misread that as "sheep"...

The Scandal does the same job, you'll be fine.
