The OP heads off on holiday bikeless and broken

Has anyone got OPs email? He obviously hasn’t delivered yet.

Just read the spoke thread!! Northwind to this thread please.

Ta

Bez – Schrödingers Outrage is excellent.
OP might post a couple of photos; after that he’ll return to obscurity.
It’s been good for a giggle so thanks OP for inviting us to have a laugh at your expense.

Like the literary reference in your picture wwaswas – there just hasn’t been enough Beckett in this thread.

Other titles by Beckett that might be useful to the OP:

The Lost Ones
Catastrophe
What Where

and

Happy Days

Sorry cant work out how to post pics

There you go:

Looks nice – love a Mega!

edit: too slow!!

Looks good OP (really)

Maybe just a few spokey-dokeys for that finishing touch?

So is it finished?

Got spare time before your holiday to tidy up your garden now?

Cheers for the pic edit👍

Wow nice! Great looking bike and possibly the best stw thread ever! Good work everyone 😄

I think we need a copy of today’s paper in the photo

All of that fuss and you haven’t even lined up the valves properly :-/

Bastards at CRC didn’t line his tyre logos up with his valves. (too slow!)

Make sure you send a pic to

willkernan@chainreactioncycles.com

along with your complaint about the terrible service you’ve received.

Is that a stock photo off the Internet? I agree, I think it needs another picture with an apology to crc in the back ground to prove its real.

Cables look a bit short to me but what do girls know.

Just zoomed in on the pic..is that a crack on the chainstay???

Bars turn fully each way Tracey 👍

Is that what all the fuss is about?
Hardly seems worth 7 pages on here.
Apology to CRC, and everyone he has bad mouthed on here? I suspect Hell will freeze over before we see any of that.

Sexist

That rock garden is **** atrocious!

Bloody nice bike that.

Now get out and ride it OP and cheer yourself up!

They’ve sent you the wrong frame, the wheels are right, but that’s not an Orange Nomad 🙈

Not sexist, thought I would preempt some one asking me how would I know.

I would run mine longer that that in event of bar spins and crashes but thats just my opinion from multiple crashes over the years.

Hmm, that cable/hose does look like it may be a smidge short…

Poor OP. First the stress of waiting for a parcel and now all the girls are telling him his hose is too short 🙁

Really nice bike that.
Not a fan of concrete steps.

Mm. Certainly one of the less energetic tribute bands I’ve seen.

The real thing hasn’t been the same since H left to join Line of Duty.

is this thread for real or have I missed something?  Did someone really get a little panicky about not ordering something on time and decided they were special?

Definitely agree cables to short, but then again he’s not going to agree that as that’d be admitting he did have all the correct parts.

Is that a day early too, or was it always Thursday?

Nice bike.
I hope it was worth the stress.

Bez – definitely on form!
As for the bike, I’ m with Sarawak – is that what all the noise was about?
Yawn.

I bump into the OP on the trails sometimes. Needless to say I know that he’s been ill, was hospitalised at Christmas, a critical component on a fork broke, his property was broken into and one new frame turned up with a dent in it. So sense of humour breakdown.

Besides, telling Tom Howard to do one is standard practice for me, so I will buy the OP a beer. I see he followed the OP into another thread to have a go at him there, the sycophantic bullying little weasel that he is.

Made for a funny thread though….

Naawww, fanks. If you read up that thread, you’ll see I started by offering genuine advise to the OP, about how good Stif are.

At least I wasn’t telling lies about others situations to try and get my non issue sorted, eh?

I get the odd customer like this. Had one today who ordered something on Monday to go to him in the US and he desperately needed it for Friday, despite the fact that he knows we’re based in the UK, the delivery method states 3-5 days and Friday is a non-working day. He then proceeded to throw all of his toys out of the pram.

I don’t know why people expect everything to be instant; it’s actually a miracle that most orders get to people on time, given all the potential issues along the way.

I wasn’t and I totally stand by my accusation.

By going into another thread to have a go at him you made yourself look pathetic.

You:re like one of those kids at school who would stand behind a teacher or a bigger kid going, “yeah, I told you so, that’s him!”.
