Singular Puffin frames where the hell are they

I know a bloke who has got a brandnew unbuilt Mukluk frameset for anyone who can’t wait for a fatbike… 🙂

Whay hay light at the end of the tunnel at last
latest update from Sam

Hi all,
Finally some positive news. I’ve had notification that the the long awaited ship full of Puffins will finally arrive in the UK on the 8th of June. All being well with local customs I expect to start shipping frames on the 16th of June.

My apologies again for this taking so much longer than expected, thank you for your continued faith and patience – not long now. If you have changed address from what you originally gave me please let me know by email to sam@singularcycles.com when you can.

Best regards,

Sam

All being well with local customs

Finally – the end is in sight

shame I’ll be in the Highlands on my holiday set up to take full advantage of the Puffin 🙁

The fat bikers were a-huffin’
Was Singular Sam a-bluffin’
The bikes were at sea?
O where could they be?
For those who had bought
Were totally distraught
But never a sight of a Puffin

🙂

There was a fat biker called Trout
Who purchased a Puffin – so he thought
But the weeks went by and not a frame did we spy
Not a Puffin, not nuffin’ . Nope, nowt.

Bastids 🙂

😆

If Sam does manage to get them shipped out on the 16th I may get to ride it at TUTB, whoop! 🙂

I’m worried the delivery van will take a wrong turn and end up back in Taiwan…..

Wonder if the ship has docked yet or are the slaves still rowing up the river

There are several marine tracking sites. If we knew the ships name it could easily be tracked.

Chris, sorry for the thread hijack of sorts, particularly as I know it rightly annoys a number of STWers but I have tried every conceivable way of contacting you regarding my broken Liberator that I can think of and received no reply… Could you please fire me an email to the address on my profile and I’ll fill you in on the details. Cheers.

What port will they be landing do we know??????

Sam has put a picture of a production puffing with a Bluto fork on his FB page, could they have arrived at last?
Or was it faster to send the fork back to Taiwan for the builders to take a picture?

I was just thinking exactly that!! 😀
Not long now hopefully…..

They’ve been in the States for a while so maybe the picture was taken there?

Team rider Matt’s production Puffin with a RockShox Bluto fork. Frames are in stock at Colorado Speciality Velo LLC in the US and have just touched UK soil – expected to start shipping next week.

Don’t forget the picture 😉

By all accounts they have landed

That’s good news.

Anyone had a puffin delivered yet?

Nothing here.

Was expecting a Kickstarter email prior to the deliveries.

Sam – Any updates?

On a side note Nates go up wonderfully on MLs 🙂

I got hu du’s, they been tubeless for 3 months now waiting for a frame to go into

Waiting , Waiting Hate waiting

Mods please move to the UK companies haven’t delivered so I’m on a forum whining thread, how about buy something else?

dont open the thread if it bothers you that much

re Buy something else approx 56 of us funded this project through Kickstarter last year with a promised delivery date of Feb
so buying something else is not an option

Weird post.

You come onto what you think is a whining thread to whine.

People talking about bikes on a biking forum shocker.

Then you create a whining post. With the word irony just to cover yourself.

Amazing.. seems poor form on Sams part.

I took a gamble on ordering from Stooge Cycles- new company, no reputation, one man band, little details.
Andy was fantastic! Kept me updated and answered all Q’s along the way. This was for 100 frames, not 56. The frames were also sent from the East by boat and were only 2 weeks later than the original ETA but Andy kept me updated. Why is an established company struggling to much to keep it’s customers updated? Especially a kickstarter venture.

Hope these frame materialise at some point for you guys. I won’t be touching Singular.

Still waiting on them to be delivered to me. I hope to get confirmation today of when that will be

When it arrives, it arrives, not going to worry about something I’m not in control of, that would be a waste of energy.

Totally agree!

Should anybody here be interested due to redirection of finances my Medium Puffin Frameset will be for sale once Sam is ready to despatch. Contact me direct as I don’t get on here that often. Email in profile.

OK, they are officially here, landed and will be delivered to my warehouse on Tuesday. Of course I will be shipping frames as fast as I can as soon as I have them.

As I’ve said before, I’ve kept everyone updated as soon as there’s concrete news. Good luck to Stooge, I hope for their sake things continue to go so smoothly. This business is not simple, delays happen, things go wrong. I always try to be as honest as I can about where we’re at but I prefer to give concrete updates rather than indefinite timeframes. The initial deliver period was an estimate, not a promise, and various issues have conspired to set that back.

I like to think I’ve been honest and up front about the current situation. Generally people who’ve got in touch with me get a rapid answer, thhough there may be some exceptions – I apologise.

There were 70 or so Kickstarter backers, 200 frames were ordered.

For those who’ve kept the faith you have my most heartfelt thanks and I truly hope you are happy with the finished product.

As always, any questions or concerns just send me a mail.

Sam

Found this on my holidays and wondered if it would have landed during the week…….

Sorry Sam – couldn’t resist 🙂

Have you checked to see the boxes aren’t full of potatoes?

“Here’s your shipment of Singular boxes”
“Where are the frames?”
“What frames?”

yes indeed

Email of joy this morning Bird arrives nxt week
