We're all familiar with the way communications technology has given us the ability to obsess and track our packages every step of the way. Who hasn't refreshed their FedEx or UPS or USPS tracking page multiple times per day knowing that their package is still 2-3 days out, but they just want to see where it's at right now? Light-Bicycle pushes this back even further, to the very manufacturing stages. After a few days of sitting in some generic "Processing" stage, suddenly this morning my Light-Bicycle order tracking page jumped straight to "CNC Machining." Since I ordered a rim that won't be painted nor built into a wheel, and knowing I'll not see this rim for weeks and weeks yet thanks to Covid-related shipping issues, I got that little burst of happy hormones in the brain just knowing they've made my rim, are about to check it for quality, and then drop it into some black hole from which it will hopefully emerge sometime next month and magically appear on my porch.

Also, I paid for a custom logo, so they literally did make this rim just for me, since with their new process for the "Falcon Pro" level builds they apply the decals before the cabon layup is put in the mold so their decal is baked into the rim surface.
