Pretty amp'd this weekend. Finally got the custom Waterford on the road. It's not yet complete 'cause I'm still missing the Rohloff hub, but it's earning its keep with a surly flip/flop. Got to say it was such a surprise to step on and have it fit so perfectly. There's something to having it built to suit. 'Twas expensive, but it's a bike to keep a lifetime.

Looks really nice. Did you have any delays in the delivery? I ask because I've been waiting 12 weeks for my custom Serotta.
What components did you put on it? I love the color and it looks like it fits you well.
Enjoy your new ride.

Congratulations on your new bike
I know how happy I was when I bought my new bike. Hope you'll be the fastest every where you go

Nice bike! Very sleek. I like the color, too. Is that a Brooks saddle? Have fun! I've heard good things about Waterford, maybe I should look into it...

Beautiful bike. Waterfords are among my favorite. Hand made and custom paints! My *new* bike is a Gunnar Roadie, which is made by Waterford (but a lot less expensive).
Congratulations

I ordered it in December, so nearly 7 months. It has a TA crank, Paul brakes, Nitto randonneur bars, Cane Creek levers, Phil BB, Chris King Ti headset, Nokon cable housing, Shimano SPDs (commuting), B17 special (Ti Rails). Originally Posted by Kathi

Still waiting on the Rohloff hub, so am running it with a Surly flip-flop.
