Drool... 

Coincidentally, I've been reading the Mercury brochure myself lately - thinking of another home build project. I'm really looking forward to seeing this stripped-down speed machine!

Looking forward to the build & pics!

Really exciting!!    Bet you can't wait. I was hoping to have heard something from SJS myself this week, but nothing. Have emailed them a couple of times but no word yet.  I know my completion date was due for 2nd May which is not far away now.

bikerta everything for 02/05/14 is currently done or in QC waiting for final checks, so you should be hearing from us today/tomorrow.

Jackie, that Thorn brown box arriving is well worth the wait! Won't be long now!

Wow!  What a fantastic looking bike!  Those colours are perfect.  If I was looking for a fast machine, that is the exact bike and colours that I would go for.  Congratulations.

By the way, I think you set a record for how quickly you built it: 78 seconds, by my calculations.  
08:19:48 PM -- It's here!
08:21:06 PM -- Built!

Dave, my Father in Law is handy with the Allen keys 

Thanks for the compliment. I'm thrilled with it!

That is a great looking bike. I hope it brings you, all you want and more.

Beautiful looking bike, love the red accents against the grey. It looks HUGE though against my little bike. Spoke with SJS today and my bike is also ready. As I am only an hour or so away from Bridgwater, I shall be collecting mine (as long as I can fit it in the KA!) that way I can have it fitted to me. Now the bad part, due to me having to teach all day tomorrow and Friday, and it being a Bank Holiday on Monday and me not having access to a car on Tuesday, I can't pick it up until next Wednesday. THAT'S A WHOLE WEEK TO WAIT   

I am sure it will go quickly enough, but frustrating knowing it's there ready. Seeing everyone else's new bike has really whet my appetite though.
