8 pages of "patiently waiting." Gotta be a WW record.

I got mine late last year but due to some 3D printing issues, Tom is making another replacement frameset since he wouldn’t sleep at night if I continued riding on the first gen frameset. So maybe that’s pushing a few newer frames out? Not sure. I’m not much in a hurry so I’m letting the chips fall where they land.

I really, really, really want a Cilla, but I live in Yankee land. Not sure if I should just send him my specs and have it built remotely.

As long as you are happy with the person doing your bike fit this will be fine

I live in a central Europe, so all the process has been done remotely too.. no problem in my eyes...
At the other hand, I still have no idea about a possible delivery date of mine...

Cool, that is a very sensible approach from Tom..
Besides, as I am still wating for mine, may I ask how are you satified with the riding qualities of your Sturdy? Compared to your other race bikes? I absolutely fell in love with the process and technology aspect and went for much much more expensive bike I would have ever imagined and after all, I only hope that the riding qualities are going to be there.. after all, you won´t find much reviews as for standard bikes :)

I love my Sturdy Cilla (gravel) with 650b Rene herse slicks measuring 50mm I can still do a 19mph group ride for 3 hours, but put knobkies on and it smashes through gravel! The handling with the slicks is just like a race bike, which defies expectations! Completely smitten.

I should have my aero bike in March/April but waiting on wheels that haven't been full released yet and a saddle that is still in development

Some of you may have seen the news about Spoon Customs and their Vars bike production being halted. Mine was one of those affected but the guys very graciously gave me a full refund.

However finding myself without a climbing/sportive bike and with a set of super light 25mm deep wheels and a DA groupset I did what any sensible person would do and ordered another sturdy 😂😂

So I will have a Cilla, Fidah, Sidhe and Keela!

The Cilla I have and is a gravel monster! Sram eagle mullet.

The Fidah will be dura ace 2x with 1000g climbing wheels and sportive geo/position

The Sidhe should be with me in the next couple of weeks. Fit and geo are road bike TT/aero weapon.

The Keela is the steel lugged vintage build which I will now get after my Fidah as Toms take on a colnago master and be October/November time.

New bike day. This frame/wheel combo is magic. It climbs like a 6kg bike. 1x 50-10/33
