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

    The Rourke is lovely – although much all new bike purchases no ride is ever as good as the first one on it. I still smile when I open the garage and see it and I don’t tire of the admiring comments (usually from older riders).

    + 1 for my Puffin

    Beginning to lose the will to live with it – originally expected it in Feb, but also expected some delays….

    Have been advised that they ‘may’ land in the country next week

    All shiney bits have landed – but they need something to hang of

    Have been planning an epic weeks adventure in the Highlands in early June, so currently getting a bit nervous and laying down contingency plans of buying another frame if the Puffin doesn’t arrive in the next 14 days 🙁

    Could be worse, I’m waiting on a YT Capra that won’t be with me until mid August, that will be bright green. I’d much prefer a stealth/black option but YT don’t really do subtle.

    Canyon Spectral 29. Ordered in November, shipped yesterday. Tracking says it has passed through Brussels, should arrive next Wednesday. Hope the weather holds – got some big rides planned.

    Waiting for a Rooster.

    Not too bothered about the wait, plenty of other things to occupy me in the meantime. Like deciding which colour to ask for. And wondering what to do about wheels.

    Oh, and for a different perspective MSP, I’m looking at it as a group buy of something that might have been a bit risky to put into production without sufficient numbers committing up front to buy. A fairly typical kickstarter project, in other words.

    I was about to place an order for a 650b Remedy when my LBS swayed me with this, it had just arrived in the shop and I couldn’t resist! 🙂 no waiting for me

    Im waiting for nothing new. I am waiting for my medium Nomad to sell and then a large aluminum mk2 Nomad with a 1.5″ headtube to come up for sale! They are so rare as a frame only for the last few months but there was loads in the winter months!

    On the same plate, I doubt its going to take me 18 months to find one! 😆

    That stumpy looks great. The blue alloy one however looks awful.

Firstly my voucher disappears into the internet ether and I lose my place in the build queue and now that its all sorted On One are now out of stock of the forks and waiting on a delivery.

    And I really, really want my bike!

    Planet X pro carbon, just got the ‘item shipped’ email.. 😀

    Mrs Binners just texted me to say there’s a big package just arrived from Planet X. I had to have a good think about what it was I’d actually ordered, as I’d completely forgotten I’d bought anything at all. Turns out its new Merino stuff 😀 Quite modest compared to all this lot. But then I have just finished building this thing, which involved quite a few parcels arriving over the past couple of weeks…..

    It was meant to be a straight rebuild after a powder coat on the frame. But I got a bit carried away. In the end, the only original part that went back on the frame was……

    the seat clamp 😳

    I hate waiting! The only thing making it easier is it gives my leg injury a couple of weeks to heal before I try and injure it again.

    Currently waiting for the insurers to payout on my stolen Five.

    Once they sort themselves out I can order myself a nice new Niner WFO.
    Just need to decide on blue or red….. Hmmmm.

    No Cotic Rockets mentioned yet?….
    Just beaten to it by tangoman, but I’m still keeping the faith (either that or I’m just to stubborn for my own good – had ALL the parts ready to hang off it since August last year)

    Just heard something on the grapevine that’s got me excited again.

    And ‘seen’ something even more interesting…

    Ah Tom, to you it’s a “lawn”, to me it’s grass. I know this forum has standards but it’s next to a wood. I quite like it like that (I don’t live on a new build housing estate) 🙂

    Here, give yourself a coronary…

    What have you seen and heard? Can you share?

    Rather not – it was all a bit unofficial, but is in the public domain if you look in the right places. You might reasonably guess though, that the Escapade and Soul 27.5 aren’t the only new bikes Cy has been working on.

    Barring any further unforeseen delays in setting up the new joint venture manufacturing, all things Cotic are looking REALLY interesting again.

    Just ordered a Giant TCX SLR 2 which was supposidly out of stock.
    Kind of given up as showing no stock the last month.
    Checked yesterday and large was showing back in stock!
    Ordered this morning and only a two week wait.
    Don’t need it till September but something to play with early if it turns up!

    There’s a pic around. They look very ‘right’. The green colour is spot on.
