Has anyone outside the US gotten any shipping info yet?

Yes. ETA of March 18 (I'm not holding my breath though - that date seems like wishful thinking).

Was it shipped UPS or USPS? I was told mine would be shipped USPS, but I haven't heard anything yet.

My mechanic is leaving at the beginning of April so I need my frame before the end of March if I'm going to be able to ride it before the Olympics are over. It's not looking possible at this point.

EDIT: The IRO site says that all the black frames have shipped. As mine is black maybe there is hope.....

Please post a pic or two of your frame once it shows up so we can all see how the different colours turned out. I'll posted some pics of my orange 56cm.

Wednesday for me.

I suggest we start a new Rob Roy build thread, when our frames arrive.

For an orange frame? I wanted to go with white saddle/bar tape, but I can't justify buying a white saddle just to have a color-matched bike. When I finally find one for $20, I'll be all over it, until then, it's black/black.

Find one that's all worn out and re-cover it.

Yeah, it's an orange frame. I am not sure what other white components I will get. I am going to be running a Mary bar, so no tape for me. Maybe white cable housing.

Mine arrived today - I just stuck the fork in (no headset) to take pictures. It's hard to photograph the matte black but it looks great in person.

Holy crap, that's pretty. Hopefully the green looks as good as the orange and black...

Wow, the black looks great. I love orange, but I almost wish I had gone for the black.

Looks like we're two for two ... I wonder how green will look?

If I had to guess, I'd wager they'll use this green again.

Get Tony to give you a credit, and use it to buy a new fork that doesn't weigh more than the frame itself.

The orange looks great, but I can't wait to see it myself, without the harsh glare of a camera flash.

That doesn't sound right. Post pictures so we can judge for ourselves.
