He's not joking. Freight co doesn't know where they are at this time. The truck they were to have been on got into Dallas Monday night...

If stuff like this didn't happen, there would be no war stories. When I got my trike, the delivery to the store was fine, it was the make ready that was a trip! Smiley

Isn't it made specifically for you--like no extending boom or adjustable seat? It sounds like it is such a great bike--so light, aero, and FAST! I hope to see it sometime at a ride.

The seat does adjust some, but the frame is optimized to your dimensions. Got example, I can flat foot it, with 700c wheels, and not having to sit up.
