The last time I looked, QBP had an ETA of April 30 for eTap. My guess is that orders will be filled in the order they were received. I don't know of a "priority" system (which doesn't mean it doesn't exist). Another guess is that they won't have enough stock to fill all outstanding orders, but I'd like to be pleasantly surprised.
How did you look/check availability? Assume you need a log in?

I work at an LBS and we have an account with QBP so I can access that info. Having written that, I'm off until the week after next, so I can't check until then.

i'm not seeing *any* ETA. there is a note that says any orders received after 3/9 will not ship until may.

put a mirror on your front brake boss and then you can ride with your head down the entire time.

that thing would save a minute on a 40k TT. if it's not banned yet it should be.

what about a pair of virtual reality goggles paired up with a super aero action cam via bluetooth, with a robotic arm being controlled by a mini toggle stick right next to the shift lever? totally worth it.

BTW - for the others that PM'd me about a mirror - Sprintech is the one you want. I expect others are good, but some are not.

I like the idea of creating more range of visibility on the bike without turning ones head or looking under the arm notwithstanding that both of those techniques work. I do not like an addition to the end of the handlebar that comes to a point with glass on one side. It strikes me it is only a matter of time until a racer suffers a serious injury.

Anyone here using a Pioneer power meter? I'm curious as to what would happen if the right side were separated from the left - ie on two different bikes. I know the left can work alone.
Also, what makes the left side only better than Stages? Other than you know, not taking on water or dying every 5 minutes.

How easy is it to convert a mechanical only frame to Di2? May finally go tron on the road bike as well
Current bike has internal routing, and i think the downtube cable entry area is wide enough to fit the wire through. I guess the hardest part would be to somehow drill a hole somewhere to connect FD to the junction box?
