It took a little over a year for the frame to be built (which was fine-- I needed that time to pay it off!) Then there was the wait on the paint which was longer than I expected, but you don't rush perfection. All told, about 15 months from when I placed the order. That's not a very long wait when you already have a great bike to ride.
