I can understand that. I do the same thing when I get new
stuff. It drives other people mad!! 🙂
E.g. I bought a DSLR ($$$ camera) and cleaned the house
before opening the box!
There must be other people like me who savour the waiting
and resist the temptation as long as possible. ;-)

Hi to al

Your mate had to wait only 2 months!!! He's a lucky guy. :

I'm waiting for almost 5 months and it isn't still sure when i
arrives. :

I'm from Europe. I think, we aren't an important market for Trek

Well its Madone Man here justifying not riding it on the first day,
just could not bear to ride it (scared of getting it scratched). I ha
to put it in the lounge room and look at it for a few days. I made u
for it on Saturday. I took it for a 140K ride in some hills and go
home and felt like I had not even been on the bike. Very smooth an
fast. As comfortable as sitting in a lounge chair. I thought m
Cannondale was comfy. I must not have known what the word meant. Fo
those still waiting for theirs to be delivered, "Suffer". Watch out fo
the road season

My LBS told me yesterday, that my madone will be delivered in mid may,
that is more than 8 months after my order. 😠

Something is going wrong.

G'day

Obviously the swiss are not high on Trek's marketing plans!....I thin
after 8 mths I'd be looking for something else. In Oz, LBS's ar
queueing up to take our money for 'high end' stuff. I think I'd go craz
if i had to wait that long. Once I've made up my mind I want somethin
(& I have the $$), I WANT IT NOW!.....keep your chin up

cheers

Hi

I want it also NOW, but it's unfortunately not possible. 🙁 You'r
right, i'm going crazy, but that's the price for getting this beautifu
and smooth bike. :

My hope is, that Trek Switzerland is not right with the estimate
delivery time and my bike comes earlier. Wait, see and hope..
