Finally got a tracking # for my 5010. It'll be here Wednesday. So pumped, right in time for my 4 day weekend.

Now I know how crackheads must feel when they have to wait on their dealers to re-up. lol. So glad I didn't order the aluminum build and have to wait until December. That would royally suck!
Where did you hear December for the aluminum ?
 
My dealer told me yesterday , the aluminum R+ build be available Oct. 26th. I'm gonna go ahead and order it.

My LBS. Said they wouldn't be shipping until the end of November, possibly first week of December. Even when I ordered the Carbon one, Contender Bicycles said the same when I asked about an aluminum build.

Maybe they've bumped up the shipping time since I ordered mine?
 
FWIW, my frame wasn’t supposed to ship until 9/15. It arrived 2 weeks ago. I haven’t had a chance to ride yet because I’m still waiting on parts. The early arrival caught me off guard.
 
Received my Carbon C, R Build yesterday. The purple looks awesome in person. I'm loving it.

Unfortunately, as soon as I got it all setup it started raining and didn't stop until well past dark, gotta love Florida. Hoping to get to ride it today after work.

That's good looking. I agree that the purple is much better in person. In certain light, it can almost come across as gray. In other light, the purple can be much more pronounced. I got the gray and kinda wish I had gone with the purple after seeing it. Both look great though.

Thanks. Yeah I was torn between the purple and carbon colors. Both are pretty good looking.

I was going to buy at my LBS but they were being dicks so I ended up ordering it from Contender Bicycles in Salt Lake City, UT. Ryan Littlefield over there was great to work with. Promised I'd have it by the end of the month, as I'm going away for the holiday weekend and wanted to bring it with me, and he delivered on said promise.

sent you a pm.
 
rode a medium and a large today. I'm going with the medium. just have to decided between the wide rims or narrow rims...
 
I bought the wide rims knowing I had another set of wheels on the way.
