Agreed. Now if we can get someone to complain that we didn't just call Tony we can lock the thread.

Unfortunately I bet they aren't numbered in the order that we placed our orders. It would be cool though.

Here is Tony's reply:

"The bikes should have a serial # on Bottom Bracket. The wheelsets will
be back on the site mid June.

Tony"

I also asked him about the Dark Matter wheelsets. I guess he's been too busy these days.

From IRO:::
Group Buy News

I have some pictures of the group buy framesets. You can get an idea of the color of the frames you ordered. Check the Group Buy Page for info.
5/28/07: The framesets are complete and being shipped to me. I expect them around the end of June. If you would like to see some pictures of them befor they were shipped check this page. LC Pictures

but no link to pictures anywhere what a tease!! what does LC mean? isnt that the chick from laguna beach? so that means the frames are going to be hot then.

It seems like they are the flat black.

It also seems that flat black was the best bet. But then again, you can't judge by those pics. Once you see them person to bike, you might like it.

I thought the flat black would be darker, or blacker.

So silver wheels would be nice.

Anyone else think that looks like the Rivendell Atlantis blue color? Maybe it's just the lighting? I think it's the **** too, can't wait!

The top two are unpainted, my guess. The filenames are raw where the other two are blue and green, plus they...look like unpainted frames.

and on that note, anyone really like that blue color and wish they had gotten one in 56 cm threadless?
because i think that i would much rather have a flat black in the same. Trade?

The blue looks like cyan colored, and the green seems a really deep/dark forest color. Both look werid in my opinion. Glad I got the flat black. On a side note, my wheels came in last night.

Contrary to my prior post, i found a picture of what it was suppposed to look like (the SRB color) and unless that picture is horrible, which i am almost certain it is, it looks nothing like it seems it should.

One of my friends that had ordered one might sell his to me when he gets it, but man I'd like to see some more pictures.
