I just got back from placing my order for a XL 7.0 this morning - delivery date in the Trek system to the dealer (Trek factory / branded store) was Sept 9th. My dealer did place the order so it is "in the system" and he said he expected a mid August actual delivery - for what that is worth.
They can order the speedbox to add to the 7 series and I upgraded the basebar, both of which were included in the order to the factory - neither went through the project 1 process - just an add on for the speedbox and a dealer-level swap out on the bar.
The store (Trek in Downers Grove IL - Chicago burbs) does have a 9.5 size small on the floor if anyone is looking for one - it looked really sweet but pricey! Did not have the long stem - it was the shorty and didn't have the rubber cover on the cabling behind the stem - still looked clean but interesting the cover was off - hope they are well affixed and that isn't a common problem for the 9 series owners!
Keeping my fingers crossed the bikes are not on the proverbial slow boat from China and get here before September!
