If my previous experience is anything to go by, you could be waiting more than a week.

Congrats on the new bike though........

Very good.................

You likely wont regret that. Great bikes. I did a bit of work on one for a guy in the late 80's, and remember it being really good to work on. It was a 247(??) that looked a bit rough, but when we got into it, it had aged really well. It had been well used, but apart from some perished seals, every thing was in really good shape, as it was really well made. And a hoot to ride. Before trials bikes got too specialised.
