Did you ordered from supergo? Are they seriously selling them that cheap?

Yes, Fed Ex picked up the bike today and it should be on its way soon (if not already). The total amount charged (shipped and all) was almost exactly $2,500.

I'm gonna be really pissed if they don't honor that price...


I'll be sure to clock some time on the bike ASAP and let all the monkeys know how it feels :)

Tomorrow or Friday is the ETA.


BTW, the price is back up to 3,300 now :p

Agree Turners are really nice, but have you spent a lot of time on a Sunday to justify your comment? Or are you trying to say that regardless of how good the Sunday might be when they eventually arrive, a Turner is good enough for everyone and nobody should ever strive for anything better? :confused:

:stupid: I was going to say the same thing. The Turner is a great bike and I'm sure the Sunday will also be a fantastic bike - but I highly doubt they will have the same riding characteristics.

^^ Yeah, but turners are 1500 at supergo, and you can have one in a few days.

Well yeah, it's definitely true you could be riding sooner, and a great bike you can ride today is better than the most promising bike that you don't have yet.

But still, these are very different frames so I don't really understand the original comment about being happy with a Turner if you really wanted a Sunday. Like, someone who wanted a V10 should be just as happy with a Cuervo...? :think:

There are many excellent frames out there now-a-days that are proven.....and 99.9% of the riders don't have the skill to approach the limit of them........so a sunday might pedal .0003% better or brake .004% better than any bike on the planet. Again, that is unproven. I say, get a reliable, proven frame and focus on saddle time.......

Yeah yeah, we've been over this. If we all rode "proven" frames, we'd be riding something similar to that ridden by Victor Vicente of America. Don't be afraid of development.

This has never been about what we need, it's about what we want. I can't approach the limit of a Ferrari but I still want one...

I just got off the phone with the shop I am getting my frame from. He called his IH rep while I was on hold and got some updates for me.

Supposedly the Sunday Team and WC's are done and will be getting to IH's warehouse by the April 1st date. They will ship out to the LBS's from there.

Supposedly the first half of the Sunday Factory's are finished and should be shipping out soon (any day). The LBS I am dealing with is scheduled to get a frame from the first batch. The rumor is they will be going directly to the LBS with will save a little time in getting them.

So if things go as rumored the LBS will have the frame in the next week or two and I should have it a week or so later. :thumb:

Hopefully some of this is true, I had my credit card out and was getting ready to order a DHR today. I will probably be kicking myself in the ass in two weeks for missing a killer deal. :think:

OR if all this is in fact rumor I should have my frame just in time for Halloween!! :evil: :mumble:

My bike (not an IH) has been 2 weeks out since November 11, 2004. I am certain I will be riding it April 7th now because that's 2 weeks out. ;)

Damn straight!!


I am feeling a bit more confident on this one though as I got the same information from another reliable source who I trust more. :monkey:

If all your buddies went snowboarding for the weekend and you had to sit at home for the next month because you're board was mail ordered...wouldn't you be happy to grab a rental at the local ski shop and rip....???

they're jsut trying to comment on how bad the jones is to ride. If everybody else is riding and you got no bike, suddenly anything will do.

I hear ya......

Rule #1) is be cautious in buying new products in the DH world....
Rule #2) always have some kinda of bike that you can count to ride at any time....
Rule #3) get as much saddle time as possible......do this,in part, by managing #1, #2 correctly.......

I agree with Rules #2 and #3 but I'm too much of a parts junkie to strictly follow Rule #1.

Oh well, rules are made to be broken and I like playing with new stuff, it's part of the richness of biking for me.

Now, I'll be the first to admit that I'm a horrible, horrible bastard of a human being, but after seeing this baby posted on our forums I knew I just had to share it with you guys...if only to tease you a little ;)

Here we have a made in the USA Sunday frameset, mated with a made in Taiwan rear end...don't ask me how or why the frame made it to Australia first or how much crack the owner was smoking to make him think that this colour combination was anything short of hideous.
