Dave, I paid $300 or $350 for my paint (two years ago). Not an extravagant 
color (Original Hunq gray). I don't know if Wford or D did the paint. Looks 
nice though!

The chainstay length surprised me. 46cm. At the time that was two cm shorter 
than the posted geo charts (now updated). I guess that was one of those tweaks 
that Grant makes from time to time on frames.

Long wait for my Atlantis. 8 months. The frame is a custom color so I figured 
that added to the timeline. Worth the wait. Like Kai said the anticipation was 
part of the fun!

im only concerned about excessively long waits but that seems to be more likely 
with customs. This makes me realize that I'd better make up my mind soon so the 
bike can be here by the time the weather breaks. I'm patiently waiting to see 
the new Appaloosa builds which could satisfy immediate gratification.

I ordered an Atlantis last Aug. and received it the first week of Nov. But 
I remember recently reading a Rivendell remark that orders placed at the 
end of the year ('16) would take at least 3 months. FWIW, Riv told me 2-3 
months when I placed the order and I feel like I was lucky to get it in two.
