If this were a book we’d be be looking at Chapter 11.

Nice phrasing!

“Due to a production delay the 2025 US Specialized has not been printed yet. As soon as the issue is resolved, the catalogue will be printed in [sic] mailed. Currently we do not have a concrete issue date.”

Rick Amos’s “issue with our printer” + absence of transparent communication with readers (customers) + abrupt halting of printed copies of Linn’s + non-payment to freelance writers = severe financial problems. If this were a book we’d be be looking at Chapter 11.

I was supposed to pickup the 2025 US Specialized for our local club at the show. In speaking with the local dealer, I was told that the 2025 US Specialized Catalog is in “reprint” due to approximately 25 pages in the catalog being misprinted, or printed with several errors. There is no “anticipated delivery date” set for the revised catalogs to be shipped.
