I wasn't following forum for last few days, I hope that I didn't miss something.
Whole mess with XXL shops is a real disappointment (and dealbreaker).
It is clear that they are not up to the task.
Also it is not fair for the "designers" of bike - IBC community. Great you've designed us a bike, now come to our store if you want to buy/reservate it. No online preorders/reservations. WTF. Here is a bunch of people who are prepared to pay for reservation, but apparently they don't want our money. Is there anything better than to have money before you have to sell product.
They (and Carver) have clearly turned their back to all of us who are far away from their stores. Not to mention that they don't send bikes to foreign countries.
Ok, I don't know if it was known from the start of project that bike will be available only from XXL shops or not, I must admit that I didn't pay attention to that. It was somehow self explanatory to me that bike is sent inside EU without a fuss.
I think it would be wise for Carver to start selling bikes through stores that know what they are doing and know how big is the market and how much can be sold through web stores. You have a lot of good web stores in Deutschland, well known across all of the world. Most of the equipment bought by me and my friends if from German and UK web stores. Sometimes you even get ordered stuff faster from Germany than from our shitty country
.
I am more and more thinking about Canyon/Alu-tech, but equipment on ICB is better for the money and it also looks better...

Passt farblich doch wirklich nicht zum restlichen Rad. 
Du hattest doch mal geschrieben das blau oder schwarz kommt wenn ich mich nicht irre. Am ICB01 gehts doch auch.
