I think, at around .5-.6 lbs/ft, a 3500 or 4000 foot order will take care of it for a while. I don't think Gary will need to reorder for the 2014 season, though if his product finds success on the field it may be something to consider for next year. That by itself seems to me to qualify it as COTS, as long as the bike company is the vendor.

Still very interested; we might get around 30' of each type. I don't think the date will work for the 2014 build for us, but who knows? I'd be willing to put in an order tomorrow if that would ensure an earlier delivery; otherwise, we will be happy to try it out as soon as it arrives, and perhaps use it in the off-season.

Shipping costs are always crazy, and I've come to expect that as part of the deal with most frame materials.

Thanks again!
