    Anyone know if they are going to be an XC /Trail 29er (Gyro/T129) or a longer travel hooligan bike (Five29/Codeine)?

    Well the Cotic Enduro duo are using it, so I would say more towards the latter.

    I’m waiting for the bits to finish my track bike, before I take it for its inaugral spin on Saturday morning. New tyres, pedals and a smaller sprocket. Or rather – they’ve arrived, but I’m not home yet.

    I’m quite worried that they’ll tell me the bike breaks some regulation or other though and I can’t use it.

    Refinished bits in the mail… Then hubs and rims to icycles so they can become wheels. And that’s the final bit, apart from the stickers and they’ll bide. Counting down…

    How long oh lord how loooooooooonggggg!

    Delivery date on CRC for mag v12 has now moved from 15/05/14 to 03/06/14…gutted…but not unexpected. Has anyone ever actually received an email from CRC to say they have actual stock of something when you sign up to their notification service. I know I haven’t.

    I’ve been waiting just over two weeks for my first full susser to arrive. Its been the longest two weeks of my life! 3-4 days delivery they said! pfft.
    Still its looks to be worth the wait! I hope!

    Worse than waiting is knowing I have 2 bikes in boxes sat in the UK whilst I’m away for another 7 weeks in Morzine 🙁

    The foxy and the zerode will have to wait!

    Me too.Codeine on bloody well arrived.
    First thoughts.
    1.It’s smurf blue
    2.It’s so heavy it’s created a gravity well and is bending the light.
    3.I’m either racing,training or working for the next 6 weeks so it’ll live in it’s box again for a while.

    Just got the ‘your bike is being built’ email from canyon so am eating a load of chocolate to celebrate and offset any weight savings the bike might give me.

    nearly there, wee trip to crc tonight to pick up a new chain and a gear inner, tyres are probably overkill too and the haven bar will most likely be swapped for something flat

    (garden is under construction………….)

    On One now have the forks in stock! Yay! Build queue is now 21 days and I am not even in the build queue yet. Boo!
    I expected to have a build date by now seeing as the forks were in at the start of the week. Big BOO!

    I’m still waiting on SRAM issuing the replacement hydro brakes for my very unused TCX Advance1..
    It’ll have gone mouldy by the time I get it back on the trails 😐

    Did you not get the mechanical replacements ‘while you’re waiting’?

    How does it work with buying a full build online (with no changes to spec)?

    Are the bikes waiting to go or do they need to be built/checked prior to despatch?

    Any pics of the finished product?

    Adding to the topic, 1 week in to an approx 8 week wait for a Soul 275.

    Patience has never been my strong point and I now have daily wheel size debates in my head. Oh, those poor kittens!!

    Waiting on a Ribble R872 since last Monday; as long as its in my sweaty palms before I go on holiday in 16 days I will be happy, if its not I will have a bottom lip you could use as a diving board.
