Anyone own a Vanilla?

Hi! I'm looking for a new road bike and I'm really interested in a Vanilla (they're beautiful!). But I don't know anyone that owns one. Anyone here have any experience with a Vanilla bike? Pros/cons (the 22 month wait is a huge con!)?
Thank you for your time!
Cheers!
Teresa :D

I wish I owed a Vanilla! If you don't get any responses here, you might check out roadbikereview.com's forums. There are several Vanilla owners there. I've done a fair amount of reading on custom steel, and Vanilla is a name that comes up time and again as one of the best. The waiting list is probably pretty good evidence of that. If I had the patience and money, I'd definitely consider it. They're gorgeous!

Thanks! Yeah, they are simply beautiful bikes! I just don't know if I have the patience to wait, though.....:eek:
Cheers!
