Taking the Plunge
After hemming and hawing, obsessing and compulsing for the better part of a week, I finally gave in and took the plunge. I just ordered a Kogswell 700C P/R frameset from Trinity Bicycles. Plunking down the moolah for this is a leap of blind faith, since finalized details of this frame haven't yet been made public, nor has a photo of the finished frame set been produced. In fact, the forks for these frames are still somewhere on their way to the US from Taiwan, I think. However, this frameset basically represents the ultimate fat-tire-capable iBOB bike, and since the 700C-wheeled version is only going to be made in seriously limited numbers (reported:20), and since this frame is just my size (59cm), I wanted to get my foot in early to secure one!
We'll see what happens next!

Have you been given an ETA for your Kogswell?
I know they've been plagued before by open-ended delivery times and I'm just curious.
Quoting from this KOG message...
"The 59 x 700Cs need forks, which will ship, along with the
rest of the frames, next week."
I'm assuming that means they'll ship _from Taiwan_ next week.
So yeah, no real ETA as of yet.
Wow! Big step there Jim! Can't wait to see it and help get it all trail-dusty!
This thread from the KOG list is particularly interesting...
