I remember this part

Trek has a dealer website called Dexter, on which you can look up product info, place orders, research bike specs, read service manuals, design bikes and manage warranties and stuff. Pretty cool.

You can also check on orders and shipments and the statuses of both. That's both good and bad, of course. Good for managing a business. Bad for checking on the status of a new bike. Because my bike has a status now, and with a relatively short lead time (23 days) I can pretty much guarantee I'm going to check it constantly for the next 23 days.

Sigh.

All of this, despite the fact that it's pretty much the same as what I have now, just with a shinier paint job and lighter wheels.

If anything, I should be more excited about Chris' build. I'm still waiting for the drivetrain, but after that, it'll be quick. But no, it's all about me ... which I guess explains this blog.

Meanwhile, I wait. Three days until I'm bikeless (for anything longer than 30 minutes, at least). Where are my running shoes?
