Have you been given an ETA for shipping? Waiting for a 168 frame I ordered prior to the Lunar New Year holiday. Thanks!

[Zoc]

No, just got an information that the wheels i ordered arn't available
switched to tubless ready wheels
hope i get an update to painting and delivery soon

I confirmed my order (custom painting) 3 Feb, estimated shipping date was 15 March. He said they still needed to build the frame smso that means they don't have frames laying around.

That is an event in itself. Getting components right now is a pain.
Where did you get them from ?

HI carbonazza, I see you're from Belgium. They still have some groupsets at futurumshop. But they don't have Shimano anymore...

Got my parts from a local bike Dealer to a very competitive Price 
Didn‘t expected to get it so fast

I forgot this option, few weeks ago they were as empty as the web stores.

Does anyone have a list of torque specs for the VB-R-168? I’ve asked but received limited information. Thanks!
