Hey Morganb
What is a bike swap?

Hey Morganb

Usually just means a local team or bike shop sponsors an event once/a few times a year where people can bring their used bikes and sell them. Either sell them outright or sometimes do a trade with someone else that has something you want.

But this time he means a group on Facebook called "online swapmeet"
I saw the frame and it looks good!
My di2 drilled frame is awaiting new groupset (swapping back to mechanical).

I know the owner of that Sagan frame on the swap meet... here's a shot I took of him at the Tour of Somerville back in May, just after he first got the bike.

What team? Here's a link to the Facebook gallery of everything I shot that day... have a look.

Estimated delivery date on mine kept getting pushed back, the shop got with their rep who told them "It will be there Friday".
IrrelevantD wrote:Morganb,
If you didn't pickup that Sagan or decide to get one new, check with a local Specialized dealer. They should be able to pull up Specialized's inventory and tell you what will be avalable when and in what size. I just got my Chameleon Purple frame in, took about 3-4 weeks. Might also ask the dealer if they can hit up their Specialized rep and get a better timeline. Estimated delivery date on mine kept getting pushed back, the shop got with their rep who told them "It will be there Friday". Saved me from canceling and buying a low end Tarmac, a decision I am very happy I didn't make.
I also built it up Di2 without drilling the frame/voiding the warranty. I just posted a brief write up on it with a link to google drive with pics. Basically, cut and splice the E-Tube cables, then use the factory routing to run it outside from the downtube. On a dark frame like the Purple, it's really pretty clean. Definately would be clean on the grafitti.
morganb wrote:Yeah I just saw today that they have 54cm frames available in the chameleon. I still haven't heard back from the guy with the Superstar so I am probably going to order one of those. I have an eTap group so if the frame that is already drilled doesn't work out, I'll just swap that over instead since my other bike is Di2 compatible. How hard was it to splice the wire? I imagine you just run the RD wire externally on the bottom of the chainstay?
