^ Anyone?

I ordered via my LBS on CycleScheme and the supplier just seems to be taking the P*ss, not the LBS's fault
The supplier just keeps giving dates which pass, end of this week! and weeks just keep ticking by.

I know my LBS doesn't deal with the supplier in question on a regular basis normally (I'm assuming Stiff/Jungle), just getting a little frustrating now ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

I just want to build it and ride it

Jungle usually pretty good to be fair.

I have been waiting until I have enough money for one!

What are you getting and get any sort of deal?

I've ordered a Large Air Niner in Kermit Green, apparently they had the Raw in stock but, I'm really not keen on it so thought I'd hold out for the one I really wanted, not spending that much on something I don't like the look of

I wouldn't have minded so much if they'd said it'll be 2 months from order and it actually happened.
But I keep getting dates via the LBS and they just keep changing
In mid September I was told 4-5 weeks which was fine, thats changed several times now with next week, next week, by the end of this week...
I'm sure the LBS is getting pissed of with me bugging him about all the time and chasing it up too

6 Months ๐Ÿ˜ฏ I could ride to asia and back and collect it my self in that time ๐Ÿ˜†

29erKeith - exactly the same that happened to my mate, dates given and not kept to. Not sure if it was the importer or Niner themselves but what ever it was its unfair on the customer.
On the plus side though i believe he's well pleased with it now he's got it and the Green Air is a stunning looking bike in the flesh, much nicer that the raw finish. ๐Ÿ˜‰

It sounds like they need a new importer.

Must be fairly rare still, I got the only Air-9 I've ever seen on eBay in large a while ago. Finally decided I need an XL one so one day I might swap my large one for an XL....

I've heard that one before (same importers as yours) with a warranty replacement frame of mine. Importers were told by SC that the frame had landed so importers contacted me to advise. What they hadn't been told/asked was where it had landed......... New York, wtf ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Might be worth getting them to clarify that its in THIS country ๐Ÿ˜•

Hope it will be worth it.
