I got the quote, and I'm 29. My 2TT hillborne showed up last week. Placed the order in March. I can't stay off it. One note: In pictures the 6 degree top tubes look pronounced, but when not seeing the bike from a parallel photograph, but from a real life angle (standing, not squating) it is tough to notice a huge slant. Plus, when riding you don't see the slant or the undertube. These things seem much more of a concern with those that like to sit on a bench and admire their bikes, or photograph them I suppose. But in real world riding the bike feels tough and stiff and super duper awesome. I hope this bike takes me everywhere for a ton of years. I am super hard on my stuff and the 2nd TT was a selling point for me in hopes it will help with longevity. Anyway, I'm very happy.
Three other notes: My Waterford Hillborne came with a rear brake hanger on the frame. I wasn't expecting that. Also, they threw in a bottom bracket that I didn't ask for or know was coming. Very cool. Last, the front dropouts are the same as the Hunq and Simpleone, not like the earlier hillbornes, I think. Looks like devil horns. I likes it.
