Bike Boom? The normal delivery time on a Serotta custom frame is 6 weeks. Mine is due to be shipped today???? It was ordered in mid April. So that makes the delivery time closer to 11 weeks. Serotta normally makes 14 bikes a day, they're doing 18 a day and still have a backlog.

I'm being told that entire industry is having the same woes due to shortages in materials and increased orders of bikes. According to and article this week in the Denver Post bikes sales are up 14% this year.

Personally, I'd rather have a well built, light bicycle with good quality components to tool around on. Much easier on the the body and lessens the worry about something going wrong.

BTW, here in Colorado, Bike to Work day was Wednesday, they expected 20,000 riders!
