18 SX, how long?

[swimfreak26 10+ year member]

RE is closed for the night so I thought I'd ask on here before I give them a call, but does anybody know an approximate timeframe for when the RE will have 18's back in stock? Would I get it before say the first of the year if I ordered one now?

Thanks for any help.

from what ive heard, it will be awhile till they get there 18" baskets back in stock. not 100% thogh, it seems that people are whanting the 18" xxx more so they may still have some sx's in stock. who knows.

Well, here's what i was told in short. They lost their supplier for 18" baskets (basically, their supplier moved to russia, tripled prices, and made minimum order 1500 pieces). So yeah, that sucks! So now RE is custom tooling their own 18" baskets, which will needless to say be one of a kind...last time i talked to them about it...they said it was going good so far. Said it'd be at least mid-december till they had them in stock...at the earliest. (also, don't quote me...round about time frame when i was on the fone with them.) peace

Alright, thanks guys...I knew about their supplier, but it's good to know they are getting back on their feet and getting these things made.

Yeah like stated above, I wouldnt be too confident about getting it before the first of the year!
