I think they played this game a bit with limewave last year and she eventually gave up on the Salsa she'd been eyeballing and got her Trek, instead. I can be patient, since I'm not eyeballing any specific races until next year. I had thought about buying a friend's entry for a race next month, but I'm really not ready for it at this point. My longest ever ride on a mountain bike is 18 miles (granted, that was on my too-small dog of a mtb that requires far more effort than it should) and I think the race is 28 or so.

I'm really dying to put in some real miles on my new baby before weather goes all to crap, though.
I totally understand where you are coming from. Then, after your Salsa arrives, you have to wait for it to get built.

The wait will make your beautiful bike even more desirable. I hope the weather holds for you too.
