So when can they deliver. Currently theres all sorts of horror stories on Ultegra 10 delivery dates

Nah, I appreciate it. Just being funny. My biggest problem there is that I get intruiged by the horror stories from ebay and have as a consequence, freaked myself out. Should give it a go. Thought I'm not sure about my first experience of it being buying a rack displaying quality components.
As for Ultegra 10, if you believe what the local dude here tells you, they're selling the stuff already, and he saw boxes full of the stuff on the weekend. Even with my limited knowledge, I've caught him out ********ting on a couple of things already, so I don't take his word as gospel. I'm thinking the reason why so many of the bikes I'm interested in around that bracket have delivery dates of next year is because Ultegra 10 is holding them up.
I'm finding it crazy though. So many bikes aorund the 3k have deleivery dates of next year, so what's a sucker like me got to do. Spend more? Not going to happen. Only option is Capag, or Ultegra 9, which doesn't seem so common. Most seem to have moved to 10, and seem to be happy to not deliver bikes in that bracket for a while. Else for expample in Lemond, the Alpe D'Huez is the same frame with the same wheelset as the Trek 2000, and 105, ultegra 9 components. For a saving of $500 or so, that could be an option if worst comes to worst.
And yeah, like I've said before. If I can buy a good bike that I don't find many people riding. Then that =
badsac.
