It will look, from the date of this post, as though it took a very long time to get delivery of the bars, but it didn't really--I knew that Ritchey had to ship them to GottaRideBikes after GottaRide got the order, and then they'd be shipped to me. But once that happened, GottaRide sent me an email to let me know they were on their way, and it took about 4 days for them to get to me. Then I had to install them, and try them out--I took them on a 70 mile ride yesterday, and what a difference! They're wonderful bars, well worth waiting for!
