How much are Speedvagen's

I've been contemplating maybe buying a SpeedVagen and I would like to hear from anyone that might know the ballpark cost what a Frame, Fork, Stem would be and how long is a wait. Thanks

It is not too difficult to search it up. F/F/HS start at 3700, but things like the overt paint scheme bring the price up a few hundred. Upgrades (enve seatmast, carbon seat tube, etc.) are extra as well.

from their website: Frame & fork packages start at $3700.

its my understanding that they build them in batches, depending on how many orders they get, if there are enough orders of...say 56s, they a batch of 56s...
STOCK: Stock frames come in increments of 2cm, from 48 to 62cm. Detailed measurements and angles can be found in the charts below.

SEMI-CUSTOM: When it comes to the semi-custom, we lengthen (or shorten) the head tube to help get the handlebar to the right height and raise (or lower) the top tube to keep things proportional with the headtube length. Both of these will help in giving you the right saddle to bar drop without too many, or too few spacers.

FULL CUSTOM: A full custom Speedvagen is where we can really dial in the proportions for the individual and make a bike that will be perfectly balanced for you. Every measurement, cut and angle is made to fit your exact specifications. A custom Speedvagen includes a fit session here at the Workshop with Sacha.

its my understanding the by building in batches, they can keep the wait time down.

My answer having just been through the process is "it all depends". You might get out for as little as $3,750 plus the price of the stem if you can fit a stock frame and go with one of the two no additional cost paint jobs or your frame can cost about $5,200 or so if you need a custom frame and go with one of the more labor intensive paint options. Not sure why you are mentioning the stem-if you want the ENVE stem painted to match-it's $250. ENVE seat post head pained to match (instead of the stock Ritchey alloy head) is an extra $150. As far as time, if you are about to pull the trigger I think you are likely in for a 9 month to 1 year wait unless one of the remaining stock frames fits you. Sacha and Patrick and crew are just finishing up the current run of frames. If you send an email to them, you will get a brochure with current pricing for the various frame and build options within a day or two.

I've got two Kirks, friend has a really nice Mooney he just picked up, my Speedvagen plays second fiddle to none of them. If you can, go to Portland to get fitted--best fitting you'll ever have.

Curious- havent dabbled into Speedvagens but they look to be of quality and aesthetic wise look very sexy.
Have read only + with builders as Kirk, Chris Kvale, Mooney but what is your qualification of " even better".

Why would anyone want a carbon seat tube on an otherwise all metal machine?
