the wait.

ok, i'm ready to gnaw my arm off.

i've been on the list for a jonny cycles since late april/early may and I WANT IT NOW! ok, so i know i sound like veruca salt and all, and i was warned that it would probably come to me in december, but i basically already have all the parts for it, need it, want it, and am going absolutely crazy waiting for it.

i'm not allowing myself to bug the builder anymore. haven't emailed him in a good month. i'm being good. very very good. no more changing my mind. even though i probably spend 5 hours a week looking at lugs.

but now i'm seeing all these frames in my size on CL and ebay and I just want a nicer frame, and I'm starting to want to buy a stop-gap frame, which is financially a bad idea.

But I just want my bike.

ok, now to make this somehow more than just me ranting:
let this be a warning to those of you thinking of getting a waitlist custom frame, like a vanilla or jonny or something. get on the list NOW so you can ride it next summer. really.
