Volcano + PBK = Argh!

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

[QUOTE=jetbike;10761908]I've been waiting for a delivery from PBK since 14th April, the whole volcano and grounded flights made me expect a delay. But, this is the longest wait for a delivery I've ever experienced from them.

Anyone else experience anything similar?[/QUOTE

I ordered tires and few other items from PBK on 4/27. They shipped on 4/30, and the package was delivered to me in Knoxville on 5/7. Apparently, my order was not delayed by the volcano.

Placed my order for a jersey on Wednesday (12th) and got them today, which was pretty much the same time I've received things from PBK in the past, before the volcano.

My pedals arrived last week. Now we've got the global cooling to contend with post-volcano.
