Are Madones shipping yet?

[Monty]

I just ordered a 60 cm Madone. Does anyone know if they are shipping? My LBS wasn't sure when
the bike would ship. A few weeks ago, I read in this newsgroup that Trek is shipping the 58 cm,
LA's size.

Will I be riding this bike b/4 the snow flies or will I have to wait until spring?

Thanks Monty

Well if the 60cm Madone is anything like the 60cm 5200 then you will probably have to wait for at
least a few weeks. I ordered a 60cm 2004 5200 about 3 and a half weeks ago. I thought it would take
no more than 2 weeks for it to arrive at my LBS. After 2 weeks I phoned my LBS and said "Wassup?
Where da bike at?", they told me that it would be another 3 to 4 weeks!

So I guess I should be expecting to wear long underwear by the time my bike arrives.

Usually Lance's size is available first. ;-) Then the more popular sizes (read: middle of the bell
curve). Then the very large or small sizes. (Edges of the bell curve.)

You might have to wait.

My gosh! I ordered two 5200's last Friday, a 50cm and a 54cm. The 54 came on Monday and the 50 on
Tuesday. Granted the 54 is a pretty common size, but the 50 isn't. Just lucky, I guess.
