Pacenti Brevet 700C pre-order
Did anybody here participate in Pacenti's 700C Brevet pre-order announced September of last year? Did you receive your rims?

If I had to guess I would say that nobody has received their rims yet.
The last I heard was that the rims were out of manufacturing as of late-March and were awaiting transport to the US.
I gave up on getting some and bought some polished Velocity Quills instead.

Jeez I can't believe they still have'nt sorted this out yet. I just checked back on my emails and I first wrote them exactly 2 years ago asking when they'd have stock in, and I'd been checking their site for a few.months before that as it always said out of stock so its more like 2.5 years, what the hell.are they playing at??
Like the user above i gave up on them ages ago, and if they still haven't sorted out stock of even suggested any time frame on them arriving, it's time to walk away and find alternatives, that's way too long to waiting around not riding.

If it helps (maybe not), Herse had some in stock last year and I bought a couple pairs in 700c and 650b.

I'm in the same spot. Been looking at the Crust rims instead. Anyone have experience with them?

I got the VO Enterprise instead of waiting for an undetermined amount of time.

It's now been six months since I ordered my 650Bs. I'm wondering if I'm just out 250 bucks or if I'll ever see the rims.
