Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Stages power meter - how long did they ship your power meter?

I know the site quotes 4-5 weeks but I'm curious to see if anyone's had a better shipping time than that.

Thank you.

Thanks guys.

I think I should just expect 4-5 weeks which is awfully cutting it close to my build block. Oh well.

I emailed them and they will be phasing out the Ultegra 6700/6750 soon. I freaked out but realized the 6800 should work with my 10sp set up as well.

pretty much 4 weeks to the day. Agreed that it was worth the wait!

Mine took about 6 weeks, ordered in October.

I think a lot of it depends on where they're at in their production cycle.

I'm thinking of going the other way, upgrading to 6800 from 6700 and keeping my 6700 Stages arm. Has anyone seen the two in person to know how much different the colors are?

I went from the Shimano Ultegra 6600SL (Gray) to the Shimano 105 5700/5750 (Silver).
The color "silver" is lighter, but they do not offer a SL Gray color anyway (on any of the models) in 175.
They were the same weight:
Shimano 6600SL Left Crank arm - 201g 175mm
Shimano 105 5700/5750 Left Crank arm w/Stages Meter - 210g 175mm

From what I understand, the hollowtech is pretty cross-compatible.
