    The guy who is responsible for the fine design of the Davidson bikes has been on vacation and returned today. I am going in on Thursday to pick my colors/pattern. I found RADIANCE colors, they are transparent colors painted over metallic bases. I have seen them on line, but not in person, so I want to see his color chips. That's the plan, and if i can't do it on thursday, there's always Saturday.

    thanks for asking. I am looking forward to having this cool new bike, I was even thinking of a name for it.

    How is your bike that you were having restored? and did you get another after that too?

    while we're doing true confessions here, I have been watching Ebay for old Mercian bikes, if i ever see one that i think is my size, I might bid on it.

    Very cool.

    You wanna see some cool paint jobs? Check out this link: http://www.spectrumpowderworks.com/spwpictures.php Tey do great work but they're as expensive as a paint job.. Cool stuff though.

    The X0-1 is still at the bike shop. Chris is waiting for me and the decaler to stop arguing Actually and seriously, I really like working with Mike. I think I'm just a bit more detail oriented than normal.

    So if anyone needs to do a rebuild and needs decals for their bikes, I liked: http://home.comcast.net/~velographic/VGabout.htm

    As to your other question.... "Shhhhh....."

    Mimi,

    I'm also curious about the status of your Davidson. How's that going? I ordered one around the end of January and got it last month. I know they hired a hot shot Ti welder from California to help with the demand.

    I'm really happy with mine and to top that off - have had a super easy time working with Bob and Bill.

    Shamefully I don't have a picture yet of my new baby!

    Hi Micki rider and good old buddy Rogue
    I am still waiting. I understand it is VERY soon; but no, I have no bike yet,
    i just have a couple of boxes of parts.

    Can someone call the shop and ask them how my bike is?

    OH, darn! They've ordered a new bike computer for me, and when I go in to have it put on, I'd be happy to casually mention "Oh, Say" about your bike wait if you'd like and you are serious about that!

    I'm like a bike shop groupie anyway and everyone there's getting to know me quite well. And so far they have put up with all my questions and I have not been kicked out...

    I wonder why ti is faster a faster deliverable than steel? I see your name on this site often enough to know about your Bianchi. Did you also buy it from them? They're lovely, too. And is there some other bike order that went south on you? Sorry to hear about that, too. Hopefully your Davidson will make it right again.

    Ti is slower. I put my order in during the month of March. It seems like a lot longer because in January I bought a frame and it was a bum deal and i had to have it returned after waiting weeks.
    Anyway; that's why it should be ANY DAY now...


    I bought my Bianchi on Ebay.
