[Closed] How painful is it waiting for a new bike? What are you waiting on?

I'm waiting on you to sell* the road bike which you haven't yet received.

Should be just my size.

*am away first two weeks in August if you could keep hold of it til I'm back.

Ta

there's a Patriot with the wrong length shock I've got my eye on.

I'm still waiting for my delivery of flash grenades

Chesini Prima, oversize Columbus spirit road frame, custom geometry, black, battleship grey and powder blue colour scheme, yet to decide on Sram RED/Force or dura-ace/ultegra. Deda finishing kit, arione saddle and either easton road tubeless or my DT240's built onto some wide rims.
Ordered last week, ETA 6-8 weeks.

I'm waiting on a Chromag Samurai65.

Actually, it's fine. I have a perfectly good bike that I'm happily riding. I've got quite a few bits and pieces I'm busy selling, and I'm spending some time and energy specc'ing the new build. So patience is coming fairly easy.

🙂

Ooo that is nice

My bike arrived on Friday after placing an order for it back in December 🙂
4 months of waiting!

not a bike (sorry) BUT am VERY excited as i'm being given a guitar by a guitar maker (for free as well 😀

it's a bit unusual to say the least (well for me anyhoo).

cannot wait to get it and a huge thank you to jookychap for his kindness 😀

had to wait 3 weeks for the cyclescheme documents to arrive, the bike arrived within 2 days of ordering at the LBS so i was able to collect it 2 weeks ago....now waiting for the newborn which is a different kettle of fish....

I had to wait an agonising week for my R5ca to be fettled by the shop I bought it from, t'was the longest I've had to wait since back in the day when waiting for my Klein Attitude..

I hate waiting, I'm an impatient sod. 🙄

I'm waiting on some cranks, so I can ride my bike without it making a horrific creaking noise. I'm also waiting for this cold to piss off so I can do anything without feeling like death.

Waiting on a canyon ultimate slx cf road frame .
only another 12 days hopefully 🙂

I'm waiting on someone to buy my current road and mountain bikes so I can re-invest in a new mountain bike. It's killing me and I've on put it up yesterday 👿 😆

Also waiting on a Canyon Ultimate SLX. Been waiting since late March, due in a couple of weeks. WANT IT NOW.

No longer waiting.... it's here and build is well underway.
Liteville 301 MK11.2 8)
Pike
Syntace w35 wheelset
150mm stealth reverb
Getting that tingly feeling already 😀

my new bike arrived in 2 days, but the parts I want to change are taking an age to arrive (forks in customs for 3 days, wheels still attached to bike that's at a friends inlaws........who are on holidays)

at least it's raining!

I love my Liteville Ecky-Thump 🙂

I've got a Mk10 - what makes the Mk11.2 the .2?

not much. they've dropped the ISCG mounts

frameset or full bike ?(stevious)getting mine in stealth and stripping my scott cri pro of its sram red groupset to go on it. getting very exited now.

[i]they've dropped the ISCG mounts[/i]

'cos everyone goes 1x with thick/thin rings now?

[i]they've dropped the ISCG mounts[/i]

'cos everyone goes 1x with thick/thin rings now?

Presumably. Everyone except me that is. 2x10 double and bash for me. There's some big hills round here and I don't have the legs for 1x10.

[edit] they were pretty much redundant when used with their proprietary chainstay mounted chainguide. It's very good. [/edit]

No Cotic Rockets mentioned yet?....

yes, I've got one of those chainstay things and am running 1x9 (so no clutch mech) and have lost the chain a couple of times - was thinking of fitting a top guide tbh!

I only need a gear inner and outer to finish my build, my birthday cheques don't clear until next Monday, gosh it's going to be a painful wait. I've been without a mtb since September 🙁

Pivot Mach 6. Ordered the frame 3 months ago. On it's way now though as far as I know. Worth the wait!

Salsa El Mar in M, due in the UK at the end of next week (Ison had run out of stock by the time I actually ordered a month ago; frame having to be shipped in from the States...)

I've been seriously thinking about one of these:

Currently a 12 month wait for them. 😯

Then again, it's been reported that the wait time for a Ricky Feather is about 18 months.

That is lovely. Not sure whether I'd ride that or hang it on my living room wall.

I don't think I'd maintain my enthusiasm for a year to 18 months waiting.

I suspect I'm not the right person for a 'bike for life'.

waiting for my pre-ordered codeine 🙂 I believe the build date is the 19th... excited much! Getting the CCDB Air set up in time fore the EWS might be more of a challenge though :/

nosaintangel - Full bike. Just the basic Ultegra mechanical build but it's still floating somewhere about the legal weight limit with that. Given the spec of my current road bike I'm expecting it to be quite a change!

Ordered my frame in [i]September![/i]
Apparently its due to land in the UK on the 22nd of this month.
Seeing is believing!

stevious- toyed with the idea of getting the same .but love the sram red hoping to go just under 14 lb .nothing but good feedback on them though
enjoy.

I had pre-ordered one of the new Cotic Rockets... The first delay hurt but was alright, I was still excited. Sadly, when the second one came the other week, the parts were ready to be built onto it and I couldn't wait any longer for a new bike so got a cracking deal on a Covert Carbon. After its first proper ride around the Ladybower loop yesterday I no longer feel upset about the delay.

Waiting for parts to build my 29er race bike, need to getr it done and bedded in for the FOD enduro weekend after next 👿

I'm waiting for a Niner RIP 9.

Waiting for a Singular Puffin Frame since February
should be soon hopefully

I just realised that I bought my Carbon Nomad last March (2013) after already waiting some months for a Cotic Rocket!

I'm just doing the last stages of ordering- sorted a colour with steve the anodiser, sent a shock off to loco, just got to design me some stickers. Officially it's not a new bike but I think it'll only share the shock, pivot axle, rear dropout, top cap and stem with its last incarnation so that's probably pushing the definition a wee bit.

Either I'm doing it wrong of just a lot less fussy.Walked into a localish LBS on Saturday and enquired if they had any aluminium frames suitable for a 120mm fork and 26in wheels.5 minutes later I had a choice of two before me.Another agonising 5 minutes of indecision and I plumped for the white one.Immediate gratification mmmm 🙂

Just ordered a Santa Cruz Highball frame at the start of the week.
Apparently the importers don't keep stock of them at all so it's on order from the States. Apparently it'll be 4-6 weeks but I'm not sure whether or not I believe them!

I waited 6 months for this [img] https://flic.kr/p/j614dd [/img] to begin with when I was researching and buying components it wasn't too bad. Towards the end I was pulling my hair out and was also changing my mind about the colour scheme daily. It was delayed by a few days more at the end as Guy's speed record kept them so busy. Was worth the wait though 😀
Edit: bloody flickr app

I ordered a highball frame in January, was going to cancel my order last week, until I found out they had a black one in stock rather than the red I had ordered, so changed to black, and just checked the tracking, it is now in the main local depot. Please let it be here tomorrow.

My 650b nomad is at stif now, waiting to be built....

YT Capra. Probably next year at this rate.

Canyon Ultimate CF. Probably the same.

With any luck I'll find out what all the fuss about Cotic Souls is tomorrow, courtesy of this forum's velocipede who has sent one down South for a new life. Am getting a little excited 🙂

Also looking forward to a Cotic Soul from a spur of the moment ebay purchase. Arriving on Friday, hopefully.

I'm chomping at the bit for my custom 853 fatbike frame. It's only been in the offing since November though...

Also keeping an eye out for the On one Parkwood

Stone me, some of you guys are patient. Rule one. If it ain't in stock it don't get ordered.

Canyon CF SLX Di2

Should be here on Monday 🙂

I'm currently waiting on a large ship to bring me all my belongings, including my bike to Australia. Its painful living off a suitcase full of stuff. 1 month down and many weeks to go 🙁

I'm waiting for some venetian blinds to arrive, before the owners of the house at the back of me, call the police.

Hora, road bike or new mountain bike?

Planetx pro carbon, ordered this evening. 21days lead time plus 6 days to get the vouchers from work. Not sure how to hide it or if it'll turn up before the wedding.

At home now so can repost with photo:

Wierdley enough waiting to start my new job so I can start the order process on a giant tcx slr2

Cervelo R3 (frameset only), no-one seems all that certain when they're arriving.

Gives me a little more time to get the rest of the cash together...

I'm waiting for someone to buy my Cotic Hemlock frame and shock so I can look forward to waiting for the HT frame that is going to replace it to be delivered.

Check out my post in the "for sale" section if you'd like to shorten my waiting time

my Spicy team frame has just arrived at Hotlines 🙂

I'm waiting for my Nerve to come back from Canyon after a warranty return. It's been gone more than 5 weeks and I'm really missing it.

How's he Rourke cheers drive? Looks lovely. Thinking about one in a year or two.

I'm just waiting for hubs so I can get my wheels built. The rest of the bike is ready to go. It's soooooooo painful waiting.

[i]Waiting for a Singular Puffin Frame ... should be soon hopefully [/i]

+1

[although I got a slightly curt response from Sam last time I mentioned my desire to see a Puffin frame in the flesh 'soon' so I'll add the comment now that I fully understand the reason that I haven't got the frame yet, appreciate he's done all he could or should have done to get it to me before now and that backing kickstarter is not 'ordering a frame']

I would say an established bike company, taking pre-orders for a frame which is new to their product line, isn't really in the spirit of kickstarter, and actually bloody well is ordering a frame.

Although, to be fair to him, most firms take pre-orders when stuff is ready to ship from the manufacturer (so they get some cash flow to pay the invoice they've just received) not before it's even ordered from the factory.

So he has shifted the pre-order to an earlier stage, anyway you slice it, it is a shrewed business move, but it is treating customers with disrespect, especially to turn round later and pretend it isn't a pre-order.

Painfull ? What is painfull about it?

I just realised that I bought my Carbon Nomad last March (2013) after already waiting some months for a Cotic Rocket!

If you had waited a bit longer they might have done a carbon rocket!!

Waiting for delivery of an One One Lurcher 29er Carbon to replace my old Gary Fisher Marlin Singlespeed. Got an 'Order dispatched' email this morning Woop!!

MSP, I think I'll bow out and stick with the caveat on my original post.

I'm comfortable with the situation and don't feel aggrieved - I just want to get a bike that I'm keen to ride out in the woods so I'm excited.

If you're feeling irate on my behalf please don't.

If you backed the kickstarter and are unhappy with where it is then I'd take it up directly with Sam.

Jones Spaceframe and the wait is very painful, especially since I have a brand new wheel to go on it staring at me every time I go into the shed.

I'm waiting for a Rocket 27.5 with 'Optimised For Inline geometry' (As seen on the new Soul 27.5)...I may be waiting a while but I'm staying confident it'll happen 😀

In the mean time, a Banshee Spitfire will suffice...sold out now so awaiting 2015 stock due in August

Ordered towards the end of April and due mid-end June.

I'm also patiently waiting for my Puffin. Luckily I already have a Muk so haven't been without a fattie 😀

That's a pimp ass looking canyon !!! 🙂

Once I have decided on something (although that can take months) I always NEED it immediately.

I was dead lucky that my new bike was practically the only one in stock (and the last one) so got it within 1 week of ordering. I'd have been a nightmare if I was waiting weeks or months.

Would love to see a Cotic Rocket rides. Every so often I'll see a bloke out on his in the Peaks. Its not Cy? Last seen going up the slabs at ladybower.

Well according to the tracking, mine has been signed for by the neighbor. He better be in when I get home from work or we will be falling out.

Well if you are happy to apologies to the business giving you bad service, for the bad service they are providing, there isn't much more can be said.
