I had heard that Velo Orange had also temporarily shut down new orders on a couple of their randonneuring framesets - am I right?

On a similar note, we see situations where small cottage industries like Acorn Bags and larger set-ups like Carradice periodically stop taking new orders!

Is this a sign of a new higher volume demand for craftmanship?
