NO... what I should have said was "Can't wait for the new ride to put this on". Still basically at step 1, but I'm sure it goes quite quickly once I'm up in line.
I've seen the initial design after catching the James on the phone prior to NAHBS. Sent him info on the Phil Wood hubshell which he was going to look at and order during NAHBS. Called once since then to congratulate the crew on the win for the Tour Divide ride they created and to touch base on the build, but have not heard anything back yet.
From their facebook page it appears they are moving into a new place so they're backed up - see a trend?
No biggie though, just waiting still and getting antsy now that its warming up. I've spent the time nitpicking every part decision I've made so far hoping they don't tell me none of it will work together once I get in touch with them. That's my only issue in the whole process so far - I don't want them waiting for me on anything or on a part that takes 2 weeks to source so a call just to verify a few things would do wonders for my peace of mind.
I was psyched to hear him say in his video interview from NAHBS that they're delivering one to NC in "a few weeks", so I know they haven't forgotten about me as there can't be another guy in NC getting one.
