Yah, the upgrade was lucky. I would have been pissed to have to wait 3 months for an R3. I can't imagine riding my single-speed everywhere. The difference in price between an R3 and a Soloist Carbon frame at Bow is $900, so that eases the pain a bit. I don't think I will buy anything more at Bow unless I absolutely can't get it somewhere else, or I have to warranty the Cervelo again...
