I just got word that my Moots frame is in the finishing stages and I should have it in less than a week.
Good thing I've been saving my pennies.
ETA - I guess I had better get my act together and sell my carbon Specialized Safire. Stay tuned for a for sale posting.

Oh my; that bike is hot. I have a Moots compact roadie. It's purty. Are you dressing yours up with any pops of color? Mine has bits of red (Chris King headset and Hope skewers).

Yes, Indy, that is the plan. I went with more subdued decals so I can do some fun stuff with the components and not have to worry about any colour clashes.

Oooooohhhh love it!!! I am hoping to one day have some titanium in my stable. Can't wait to see her (or him) when you get it in. How hard to wait.

So now, I'm compiling two spread sheets, one for the dream build and one for the economy build (in my case what that means is the build where I think you get the best bang for your buck, not the cheapest build, usually this is about 3/4 of the way up the quality scale).
I'm lucky enough to have a SO that owns a bike shop, so I can get my parts at shop cost. But, he also wants me to look through all the options and decide what I want instead of just telling me what I should get. Is it possible that I love him for this, but at the same time am a little annoyed?
It's a lot of stuff to look through and decisions to make!
Ahhhh, how great it is to have this be my greatest concern at the moment.Living life like there's no tomorrow.

Congratulations on the new mtb Moots! This time last year I was starting to make those same decisions for my Gunnar and had a lot of fun doing so
So nice that you are able to focus on this right now, and awesome that your SO both owns the shop and wants you to make your own decisions

That is such a great frame! And you've got a great partner helping you build it up!
(I think you and I may have discussed this, but we've gotten several bikes, frames and build kits from GVH).
