august 9th, 2005
Dude you are crazy. I ordered a 29er from them before, had to cancel after they lied to me 20 times in a row. I have a colonel 26" singlespeed which is a nice bike, but i'd never buy another from them strictly based on the lack of honesty from them. whenever i called them(after the 4-5 week promise time had passed) they would tell me 1 more week. i pleaded with them for an honest estimate of time after many weeks of no new frame in the mail. eventually, it made it to q.c., several weeks of qc later i cancelled my order. i really don't think they ever started on it. they are just so full of shi t its unbelievable. they just refuse honesty. they seem pleasant enough on the phone, but cannot deliver. i took all the stickers off my 26" just to avoid advertising there brand. whenever anyone asks about my 26" i tell them its a sweet bike but a terrible company. they really don't deserve your money.
that being said-i predict august 9th as the day you get the bike. although they will probably have it in qc 6 weeks before that. shipping will only take 3-4 weeks. they may lose the tracking number and have computer problems also. they'll offer to call you back and never do so. they really suck to deal with. i am drawn to jeff jones bikes because his 1-2 year waiting list sounds realistic. good luck.
