Who knows. Maybe. Most likely the frame will be built IMO. It does seem clear that you shouldn't join this group buy if you're looking for a frame to get you out on the trails soon. I already have 2 other bikes... if this one comes through in a few months for the price... cool, I'll build it. If not, no big deal.

totally agree with you, as i said some sites and weeks ago...

Hello everyone!!! I'm new to chiner town. Just thought id say Hi before i get into to the nitty gritty. So with out further ado, did this group buy already happen?

brex · September 09, 2020, 04:01:04 PM

No. It can't happen until the frame actually exists.

So I'm guessing Eddy and the other folks over at Haideli are waaaaaaayyy too busy trying to keep up with their large client demand to work on their side projects. So it could be a while before we hear more from this. I'm going to be patient, and if it takes so long that this is no longer a 'buy', then that's too bad but it's the way it is at the moment.

You made some good points! Demand is crazy high this year! I'm just hoping it will be available by next spring.

I ended up going another route for the moment, so please remove me from the list (Size L).

Thank you

This thread was started March and it's half a year later and it seems we have not gotten any sort of progress towards even seeing ONE frame in the hands of a customer.

I'm looking to get a new bike built come Christmas. Unfortunately, it's starting to look like the Covid vaccine has a better chance of coming to customers first before this frame does.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure how to handle it. I want to honor my commitment to those that have submitted their intentions to join the group buy but I also don't want to mislead newcomers to the forum and make them waste time planning on buying and building out this frame.

I guess all I can really do is keep stating that this obviously isn't a guaranteed deal and to not depend on buying this frame to get you out on the trails anytime soon. I can only assume that most of the people that have expressed interest won't actually be buying the frame if and when it comes out. At a certain point, if we don't hear anything from Eddie, I guess I'll just lock the thread. As always, open to opinions.

I'll buy one. Size Small. Teal or black.

Hope you hear back in the next few months.

Has anyone reached out to Eddie lately?

erickr · September 19, 2020, 10:30:21 PM

put me down for a small, I can be patient for this.

I'm currently building a p9 as this was taking too long, keep me on the list though, I will probably have that build done before this releases

It's been a couple of months since I did but he wasn't very responsive. Maybe I'll give it one more attempt.

I wrote terry from winowsports. He said the frame is not ready yet, but they are still working on it...

What are the terms to get on this group buy?

Thanks
