Tomorrow, I will recieve some lovely steel….

I can’t wait 😆

I am also expecting a new steel frame tomorrow …. are you me?

are you me?

Don’t think so! Are you me?

We should have a pic thread tomorrow i think 😀

What have you both got coming? Is it a cotic like everybody else at the moment?

Nah, I don’t go with the flow! 853 though….

I’m expecting a new frame today too. steel and big wheels, but not new and not a cotic. v excited 🙂

I was expecting it yesterday and the day before that, but I’m reasonably confident that it will actually manage to get to me today. It was posted using Parcelforce 24hr express service and it is now verging on 72hrs. I’ll be passing this info back to the vendor to see if they want to try and claim a refund.

is it a Stanton?

Also took delivery of an 853 wagon wheeler frame yesterday. All the fun building completed last night. Cable shortening and gear indexing to follow tonight 🙁

is it a Stanton?

Nope 😀 normal size wheels though!

Are the 853 PAs out yet? If so is it one of them?

Hangs head in shame. Apparently I do.

This is too spooky – mine is also 853 with non exploding tyres.

Hmm. You sure your not me 😆

Mine is black.

ciderinsport – is it a Dialled Alpine?

ciderinsport – my guess is a Sanderson Life or a Pipedream

Not black, not dialled, pipedream, or sanderson!

Eek.

Snap again …….

Is it a normal wheel sized Cotic? BFe or Soul?

Or maybe a Rock Lobster? ( EDIT: having done a little bit of stalking on your previous posts I think I’m right on this one ciderinsport?)

None of these either!! Normal wheels, yes!

Is it something made in a shed in England?

Is it a Curtis???

Look back tomorrow, a picture will appear!! 😆

Pace rc104 for £413!?

A Rock Lobster Team Tig 853 no?

And at 08.30 😯 it arrived!

Thanks to the nice chap at The Bike Scene, oooop north! 22 hours from order to delivery the other end of the country!!!

Time for a quick cup of tea before the build starts 😆

(and yes, the pic is rubbish!)

ooooo shiny…

I’ll be passing this info back to the vendor to see if they want to try and claim a refund.I like your optimism regarding the service of Parcel Force. I bought a set of Toras off here that were sent 48hour delivery, I got them about 432 hours after they were sent. That’s worthwhile service.

I hope you do get it today, I built up my Orange G4 (I know, coming into a steel thread and mentioning an Alu bike) about a month ago, it was awesome.

Nice frame ciderinsport – I’d never have guessed that one either 🙂

My frame did arrive yesterday, almost exactly 72 hrs after it was posted :/

Not overly fussed about things taking that long, but feel that if someone has paid a premium for a 24hr delivery they are enititled to some sort of refund if that timescale is missed, especially by a factor of 3

now the question is, did letmetalktomark’s frame arrive, and what was it?

Lovely. Let us know how you get on with it?

Very nice.

Mine is still yet to arrive 🙁

Right, after a bit of tinkering this is what happened…

All done apart from: I have no brakes… they (2012 slx) are on my ss till I decide what to put on that and seatpost will be a thomson, when I decide if I want inline or layback!

Take the mick about shed and garden all you like!!!

Very nice! Well done! I like the destickered Rebas (?). Might do that myself. Or was it necessitated by tattiness?

Watch the Chris Akrigg “Brakeless” vids for reasons why you Can do Perfectly Well Without Brakes/Really Want Brakes*

* delete as appropriate.

Boooooo! an orange.

why not a pace at only a tad more £?
