My wife got a new model uptown recently, month or 2 ago, and it took probably a month to get it, they were backordered through the LBS's supplier, needed to wait for the next shipment from Taiwan. But it came eventually, and it was worth the wait for her.
The LBS was going to look into transplanting the chaincase from a new uptown in the wrong size to a last year's model in her size, but I don't know what ever came of that. Swapping the LED for halo not that big a deal either, at least, the LBS stocks the LED that Breezer uses. It would have taken $$. Easier after the fact to have just waited for the right one to turn up.
