It MIGHT be delivered tomorrow.

Thanks. I did stop by Rivercity, but didn't really get that far in the process due to a lack of bikes in my size to actually test ride. Although that's where I first road the Dolce Comp Double they didn't have anything else to compare against, and I wanted to try a few other bikes before making up my mind.

The shop should be able to tap into Specialized's inventory system - they keep track of where all the bikes are. They should be able to get a shop that does have one to ship to the shop you are buying from. At least that's what they did when I got my Ruby. I'm a very small size (a 44cm) and they only *made* 9 in my size in the year I bought it. They tracked down a bike in a shop all the way over in Australia that had one in stock and had it shipped to a shop over here in Washington for me!
The shop I ended up at is a realitively new one (just opened this month), so the owner wasn't up on all the options available when I was in the shop. He did check the inventory system, which had nothing, but he called the rep later and they're looking at seeing if they can track one down. I could just wait until the 2010s are out, but now that I've finally made up my mind I want it now.
