hmmm, well for me the good news is my inbound frame is still a ways out, but delay doesn't work to SRAM's favor with all these other options coming to market!

Having SRAM etap hrd installed on my ti warbird as we speak. Should be done by end of the week. I'll post some pics.

Shocked — SHOCKED! — to read this after your comment to me regarding the Thule heads ;-)

Even highend Campy super record has some steel hardware. It's crazy. And super awesome that FSA is doing this. Very well thought out.

No idea, but they didn't make it sound anything like they were getting some advanced order or anything like that. Sounds pretty much business as usual really.

The part about the Joker was a joke... the serious part is that I have no clue what the Enigma Review is, maybe Im missing the stuff in the translation and im thinking in the wrong thing.

Enigma is a UK based frame manufacturer. Titanium even (and steel or at least used to be steel as well). They are nice bikes.

With Campy, production is all about timing....and waiting. There isn't a factory full of magical cycling factory elves eagerly commuting via unicorn to a production facility that's churning out parts 24/7. Think more of a bored, middle-aged Italian guy with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth that begrudgingly shows up for work during short windows of time between Easter/summer vacation and Christmas/Easter

For anyone in the biz that's dealt with production in the Boot, patience is key

It is heartening to see that Campy has made the commitment to disc as the only rim braked bikes rolling out of a LBS are either super, low-end comfort bikes and high-end road with race geometry. Everything else seems to have transitioned to disc. From a nostalgia standpoint, I hope that they're successful.

Example:
This one sell fairly well

Titanium, steel and stainless steel frames made about 50 miles southeast of London.

Oh, gotcha.

I have a bike going to Bicycling Magazine, one to VeloNews, one to PEZ and 3 others. When I said Enigma Review I meant the bike we are making that's being reviewed.

THanks... for the record... E.Nygma= the riddle Ultra's pop culture minute :P

Those Bat Man movies were LAME!!! The first two Michael Keaton ones were awesome. But the Val Kilmer/George Clooney ones were bad.

I got the gist on the E Nigma joke. That's why I asked if you were serious or joking.
