Waiting without hope is pretty horrid.
Does that help?

I waited 8 weeks for my first Heckler.

Knock one out while your waiting ?

5 weeks and counting for my new frame. Ebola would probably be a welcome distraction from the hourly check of the emails for any news...

Yeah. Imagine if you were stuck in the airport trying to get out, knowing that the bike was still being delivered to your oil field in the desert.

My new bike is due today, that is the worst wait. Those final painful hours, the sun will have set by the time it arrives

Worse?

Getting said frame and finding the fancypants bronze photoengraved 'decals' have a spelling mistake ๐Ÿ˜†
Do you decide to live with it? Well it is a very pricey high end Ti frame so no, it has to go back.

Another several weeks wait and you get it back. Excitedly you throw all your lovely bits at it, finally slipping your 29" rear wheel into.............

the 26" chainstays ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜• ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Back it goes. That was a few weeks ago, must find out what the latest news is.

You wait for said part, only to find you need another part to finish the project & start waiting again

But admittedly this thread is over, Bedmaker wins!
You poor bugger. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Bedmaker really does win, mine could come wrong size and wrong colour and it wouldn't be as annoying as that.

Right I'm off to follow scruffs advice.

I've heard that the bad AIDS and death by a thousand paper cuts are both quite bad.

3 days, although it'snot brand new.

Apparently they tried to deliver earlier, so it's home to get the card, then off to the couriers to pick it up.

Hopefully this ones fits ๐Ÿ™‚
