Rooster – anyone had any updates?

Neither why not ask Michael http://www.traversbikes.com/

BB looks really tall. That’s what I don’t like about the Krampus, and that looks taller still. The Rooster geometry looks spot on for me.

It’s about as tall off the ground as most other bikes with 29″ wheels,
as for the overall size, I’m only 5’8″ with a 31″ inside leg and this is the large frame, fits me perfectly for long rides.

No Ti needed for us Sheffield residents, only the real stuff.
Not heard back from Sam or anyone on here. Would really like to know the update, even if it’s just learn more patience for a few months.

Steel fork is all I need, especially today when my Rockshox won’t fit anything bigger than 2.2 in front.

So is anyone thinking of selling their stake for a large Rooster?

Just wondering if anything’s happened in the past two months and I missed it…

Not really, nothing concrete afaict.

Last update was 7th April and said that they should be landing by the end of next month all being well.

OK thanks. I bought Riddoch’s pledge off him and it looks like Sam hasn’t added me to the email update list, so I wondered if I’d missed anything.

I’m being missed off email updates too. So to confirm end of May latest date?

End of May – Yarp.

I just hope it arrives before our baby does – early July!

2017 is Year of the Rooster 😉

Cheers Teacake. Not in time for WRT this weekend, but hopefully some summer bikepacking fun.

End of May would that mean that they are on the boat just now?

If I start saving now I’ll be able to afford a Buzzard mk2 when they come out in 18 months time 😉

Hmm its been a long wait….. 🙁

Certainly has -13 months since I paid for it!

Think I’d be asking for my money back and interest Steve.

Yep – I could buy a Genesis then! Enjoy it on the WRT!

Just checked with Sam, and he confirms things are sorted and he is just waiting for the shipping date.

Anyone heard anything? I know i’m missed off updates is all. Anyone know if we’re waiting for a shipping date from Factory still, or being despatched from UK?

Nothing afaik, I mailed him on Wednesday about my rims for the Rooster and haven’t heard anything back.

Email off Sam yesterday – update due this weekend – why does that make me think I may not be getting the Rooster this month?

Did anyone get an email.

Sadly no – but fully expect another dirty great dollop of disappointment.

No weekend update – looks like I’m not getting the Rooster before the end of May!

Just received an update from Sam. Frames are leaving Taiwan this week. Did think that they could not be here by end May if no notice of shipping had been sent.

To be honest I am just glad Sam has managed to work through this and that it does look like a frame will arrive at my home before too long.

Does it mention a time frame?

Just received an update from Sam. Frames are leaving Taiwan this week. Did think that they could not be here by end May if no notice of shipping had been sent.

Well if its on the same boat used to ship the Puffins it will make a 27 day journey last for over 60 days.

I do feel for you lot & for Sam, it’s daft that I bought a carbon frame from Taiwan & it took a total of 5 days from order to delivery to my door.

I’m sure it’ll be all worth it in the end

Was this a kick starter or similar?

Did you know from the start that there was no real way to know when you’d get your bike, or has this been a series of broken promises (for want of a better phrase)?

OK so does anybody know what size seat collar the rooster will need? The diagrams on the kickstarter site seem to suggest 30mm…..

Schedule has slipped – repeatedly. Launched March 2014, funded (supporters paid in advance) in April 2014. Original delivery date was late August to September 2014. As above, frames haven’t left Taiwan yet!

Updates have been few and far between…

Update from Sam today (29 June 2015):

“They are on the boat, should be landing in two weeks.”

so – with the buyers by end of July?

Website makes it look as if there’s stock. Would love one but is it possible to have an EBB that is consistently creek free without heaps of TLC?

If it’s got the same EBB as the other Singulars then it does. Mine have all been trouble (and creak) free. I’ve only needed to adjust when changing the chain if I’m running singlespeed.
