Flo Cycling Wheels (Page 34)

Damn.....  You guys are killing me.

NICE!

Just checked my CC and i have 4 pending charges for 865.65

this is not going well.... lol

You hit refresh on the "Please Wait" screen, didn't you?

occaisionally stuff like that happens, so you might shoot them an email, but dont get to worried, unless of course it posts

no confirmation email yet.   Luckly only one charge for me.     Its weird.

I just went on the flo site, and its interesting to see what wheels were ordered.  Some still have shipping group 1, some have shipping group 2.   The disc has shipping group 4. 

I like your signature line.  I was once a member of the 69.1 club.  But now, I've done a 70.3 (and a 140.6 as well).

If I had to guess, I'd say that it wasn't an indication of the disc's popularity, but rather the percentage of production resources they're giving it.  Remember, they have to allocate that 400-500 wheels across the different models, so they probably made some assumptions on expected volumes going in.  I doubt they're going to base the initial production run ratios on this pre-order.  Those ratios were probably already set.  Again, just guessing.

It doesn't say, but if you go back in to the store and look at the wheels themselves, they've been updated with the expected shipping group.

I figured that the disc would be in very high demand.  I had a meeting this morning so missed out on the opportunity to get in an early order.  I do not want to pre-pay for something that I may not be able to use for half a year so I'll just have to get by somehow without. 

i can't verify anything on the site of my order # or grouping (my fault), but i did confirm the charge went through.

i imagine with all the multiple purchases that went through (in indeed it is from perople confirming multiple times), the groups will shift forward quote a bit

You'd have to think so

I figured the opposite and probably so did they since the date on that one moved to the right pretty quick.  The 60s stayed available for quite a while before the shipping groups moved.   They likely ordered a lot of those expecting it to be a popular choice.

Any reason why not?  Mine performs well.

I finally got my credit card to go thru about the same time as you. #414.

I was stuck on the payment screen from 11:04 -11:10. I finally got fed up & refreshed. then I re-enterd my card info & it went right thru . I've only got one charge on my card though. I keep checking every 5min to see if my first try at payment went thru. But no luck there (

After the payment screen was loading for 2-3min I was on Flo's facebook page & people were posting order numbers in the low-mid 100s. So I lost a couple hundred spots in line waiting for the payment screen to go thru!!

Crossing my fingers.....HARD!!
