Talking Fikse FM5's are finally here!
Just got them about a 1/2 hour ago. They're nice, clean, & it was well packaged. I'll take some pics in a few hours and post them up. I can't wait to mount these bad boys!

EDIT: Still not worth the 18+ week wait time. LOL!

Yeah, I know right!! Estimated 6 weeks turned into 18+. I would've been better off buying them used off someone.
