It wouldn't be here until the end of the month. The LBS has to disassemble it and pack it up. This all takes awhile. Shop are getting busy about now. My bike has to take a number. Dang, I wish I could have it now.

Wabi Cycles was founded by Richard Snook in 2009. The original Classic is very similar to the current model. The original Lightning model featured an aluminum frame, which has been replaced with a steel frame in the current model. The newer Special and Thunder models are also unchanged since their introduction. As to Zach (not Zack) Gallardo, he joined up with Wabi when it changed ownership for the second time and moved to Colorado in 2019. Anyway, the character of Wabi was forged by its founder, Richard Snook, and the current owners are simply carrying his legacy forward.

Unfortunately, they don't make those in a 42cm frame, 650c wheel size. 
Anyway, it's a moot point since they are now sold out of those.
