Volcanic Ash Fallout

GrahamDMS

Anyone having problems getting hold of their new bike?

Mine, due today, is apparently delayed for four weeks as a consequence of the volcanic ash disruption!

I would expect a one week delay and can put up with two weeks...but four just seems like I've gone to the back of the queue.

If anyone has had or is having a similar experience, I'd be keen to hear.

Cheers

I doubt if too many bikes are sent over from Taiwan/China/USA via air - most would be in a container onboard a ship.
A few people have mentioned of delays on their bike orders, but I suspect this is more down to wholesalers not wanting to place their orders until last minute, due to the economic climate, rather than the climate surrounding Iceland.

Bikes are generally shipped by the container-load by sea - air would be too expensive because of the volume vs weight

There may well be a whiff of something in the air, but I suspect it is coming from the rear of a cow rather than from a volcano.
