I have a skid of something on order I just checked on. I ordered it mid October. It was originally supposed to be delivered the last week in November. In November it was pushed to late January 2021. Now they are saying late March and, I have to resubmit my PO now to get any at all. That's the way it is.
BTW, the price has went up 30% since the initial order. It's the same situation from other companies as well.

'Course, then you are inviting a response, and maybe that's not your intention.

In the meantime, I just bought a 2019 Domane, although not an SLR 7. Just got back from a 2 hour ride.
Might keep it after my SLR 7 shows up. We’ll see.

A few of you guys confuse me. I mean on one hand, you're on this site. That means you have access to the internet. On the other hand, you still think Treks are made in Waterloo, Canada, Cambodia...
This isn't rocket surgery.
Trek is a marketing company. They are not a manufacturer. They design and market bikes. They have contracted Quest Composites to make their carbon framesets. They buy some other parts from other companies. Then, they put that stuff in a box. You buy it... and call it a Trek.
Quest Composites is in DongGuan City, Tangxia Town, China - which is not in Cambodia.

Most of what you are calling "thinking" is just people having fun.
