Guess it depends on how badly you want the bike and how much patience you have for this sort of thing. I understand your frustration, believe me. It took me just about a year to get mine. But I went into the process knowing that was a possibility. However, Lane was always totally straight up with me about the status of things and never promised something that wasn't going to happen. Sounds like you caught him during a particularly bad time. Good luck. If you stick with it, you'll end up with a really special bike.

Also, have you called him or only emailed? Try every avenue.
