Well I will admit the wait time for this bike is killing me. The weather is getting nicer and each weekend I think "wow this would be a great ride weekend". But instead I just wonder what is going on with my bike. So I decided to e-mail Doug last week and his response was this drawing of my bike. All I can say is I am excited. He also let me know it would probably go off to paint this week and get a nice dose of baby poop brown powder coated sprayed all over it. The Fork was changed from a 135mm to 110mm travel so it makes the down tube a little confusing with all the lines. Me and the wife have been getting ready for the day it arrives. I am ordering her a Gary Fisher Mamba or picking up a last year X-Caliber this week from a local shop that is having a sale. We also have been preparing the Honda to cary 2 bikes with a new yakima rack and a couple bike racks. It was all on sale from different places. As much as this recession bites there are allot of good deals right now. So a little excitement in the menotiney of negativity from every day activity is a good thing these days.

31.5" top tube! Damn, that's going to be a big bitch! What color are you going with?
Baby Poop Brown is the color of choice. I know the top tube seems cray long. I am a little skeptical about that long but Im trusting he knows what he's doing. Also Im not sure where he measures from since some other guys have said there drawings from Doug said the top tube was also crazy long. It might be the total including the head tube and seat tube?
I see you and the Schrode have a big interest in biking. Me, I stick to exhilarating sports such as cribbage and croquet.
Unfortunately, the TTBC shirts on Cafe Press only come in non-tall sizes. I looked over the whole site and didn't see any "talls". Thanks for lookin' anyway!
