Yes, the PCPP is 3 weeks away. However, that isn't what I'm referring too.
Revolution called yesterday and said they needed a few questions answered. 1. Do I still want the vana white Niner Air Carbon? 2. If I could get the Air Carbon in Tang earlier, would I want it? 3. (less important right now) What do I plan on running for the bottom bracket.
My answers
1. Yes, I still want the bike. 2. Hmmmmmmmm - Hard decision. 3. BB30
Revolution explained that I could have a tang frame in 3 weeks. The whites, because of tons of orders, would come sometime in the future.
I ran up to revolution today and checked out a medium tang that they were building up. The color was awesome in person as the stock photos were less than impressive. After seeing an actual bike, the decision was easy. I switched to the tang.
I've been picking up parts for months for my vana white niner. Now that it is tang, I'd prefer to have a black fork, but have already purchased this white one. Black 29er forks, w/ a tapered steerer, and 9mm drop outs are apparently rare and expensive. I did order one of the niner rigid carbon forks so that I can easily swap between rigid and travel.
With my luck, the niner will show up Monday after the PCPP. That's ok if it does--I'm beyond excited for it.

Buenisimo! I like the tang. I also dig the white fox fork, don't try and change it. It screams FAST!!!!
NIce.. That ride will be sick. Not to mention you will love the Niner Carbon fork. I have been running mine for a little over a month now and it is smooth like butter!
You riding SS or Geared for the PCP2P?
McGrew - Riding geared for PCPP - I'm a big wuss.
Miles- you made the right call. Tang is a cool color. I agree with Brandon. White fork with Tang frame would be very cool. A little mismatch is a good thing.
