That's a beauty. I'd have a tough time waiting another year to build it up.
Of course, for such a frame,components should be carefully considered:) How are you going to build it up? Not bad turnaround time, considering that only Mark Nobilette building for Rivendell, and he has his RH gig , too. I ordered my Rivendell road frame in Aug 2000 and received it around the middle of October 2001 when Curt Goodrich and Joe Starck were building the customs; mine was built by Curt Goodrich. I think it was in the paint queue for about 6 weeks or so. Good thing about the wait , though, is that the bike was actually paid for (not lurking on my credit card) by the time I received it. Enjoy your new bike!
