Now what? :-) Amazing how quickly it arrived and at reasonable shipping cost. It was very well packed. I love the periwinkle. Lots of work ahead of me. No parts purchased yet. A little overwhelming but looking forward to learning a lot in the process. I had an Atlantis until 10 years ago but have been bikeless since then. Can't wait to get back on the road. I'll post updates and questions as things progress. Planning to have my LBS build a wheelset first off.

Hi Jared, Amazing color....

With all the tariff talk going on, was there a duty/import fee/tariff you had to pay? Either at the time of ordering or when receiving shipment?

Please let us know what the current ordering/shipment situation is with Blue Lug, thanks!!!

I would also love to know about the tariffs. Thinking about getting this same bike in the 51 cm size if it doesn’t sell out by the time I’m able to… And congrats on your beautiful new bike!!

Thanks :)

Timely that someone asked about the tariff. I thought I was good since the bike arrived without any duty. However, just today I got hit with a $272.68 duty! The bill arrived from FedEx in the mail. Ouch.

The frame shipped was about $1980. I decided to add a few brass goodies from Blue Lug for a little bling as well.

For the brakes, I'm planning on V-brakes. Leaning toward Paul Motolite.
