This has been a sticky point for me as well. I ordered under the impression that the frames would be done and here by April or May. Guess it just proves willingness to trade money for time.
However, I've got a job lined up in China starting in late August/early September, which makes me wonder if I should just let the bike sit for a year, or cough up the extra $$ to ship it with me and ride fixed in China for a year's time....otherwise why did I wait so long to let it sit around the garage?
