I waited 18 months from order date to shipping date. I have actually spent more time assembling and changing parts than that. I still haven't posted a finished picture, as I have yet to tape the handlebars, still playing with stem length (90mm or 100mm Nitto lugged - ?).
I note that the blue custom is similar to mine (and I believe Joe's) in two ways - 1) no fancy Rivendell Custom lugs, just the standard Rivendell lugs and 2) a fillet brazed bottom bracket. I wonder if this is a result of Grant's evolving design philosophy - the existing stock of custom lugs no longer fit the new designs?
