I designed this thing before ordering all the parts and so the orders were all put in around the same time, give or take three days. One retailer in particular has really vexed me by delaying their shipment for days and therefore I can't even install the damn seatpost until next week.
im in a similar situation, i have about 2 weeks to pray that the extravagant list of pretty important components i ordered show up at my door for a 2 week bikepacking trip in arizona. as things show up i slowly add them to my megatron so i can create my megazord and the stress levels go down
despite having the patience of a monk, it is a virtue that im not blessed with in this situation, lol
