Quite annoying.

When you aquire a frame you've always wanted and maticulously building and polishing it up and a part you want you can't get to finish it.I guess it's all part of the experiance and the build up you go through yourself hunting the parts down and the acheivment and satisfaction afterwards.Worth the wait though.
 
The best things come to those who wait......... Been more than 2 years for me to source a specially rare item but finally landed one & awaiting its arrival

Hope it's a lawn mower so you can tidy up our gardens
 
I find that if I stop looking, or compromise and use something else, then the exact part just comes my way. Usually this happens when I have moved on and then in the process of building a different bike the bit I needed just appears...
 
Its frustrating enough waiting for the right part to come up. Then it can be a real challenge trying to tease a detailed condition report, with close up pics etc from what can be a very evasive ebay seller :facepalm:
 
What's been quite annoying for me is buying a whole bike just for one particular part for another build...then I'm left trying to replace that one part which leads me to buying another whole bike and so on and so forth
