My current information now is the bike went to the painter on Wednesday. It looks good that I'll get my bike sometime before the end of the year now. Last night I got to look at the bits and pieces I'm getting. I got a Tubus Luna rear rack, stainless steel, flat black. On top will sit a Jandd rear rack pack II. In it I'll keep my Kryptonite New York lock and my lunch. I've Jitensha Honjo fenders and Niterider Rage Hid + Led lightkit.
The headtube on my bike is hand-wrapped because it exceeded the angle of the mold that the head tube is normally molded in. I also found out that, due to a mis-communication between LBS, myself and Calfee I've also got mounting for a rear disc brake. I don't know if I'll put a disc brake on my bike in the future but I will have the option if I want it. I'm getting the transparent Cabernet Red paint on the frame.
I'll be fully set to be a full-time bike-commuter with my new ride. The fenders are necessary in the winter here due to frequent rain. Good lighting is also necessary on a commuter bike since I'll be riding before dawn and after dusk all through the rest of the winter.
I'm very curious how much different this bike will feel compared to my previous one. I'm starting to feel the excitement of anticipation since I will be riding again very soon.
