It is 6800 and this looks to be the case. Truthfully, I was so disguisted when I realized it that I put it down and walked away for awhile. I will look harder.

Ribble has always been my go to source. I have to say that my last 2 orders have really sucked though. I had to wait 20 working days to email them that the package never arrived. The resent it and I had it a few days later. I ordered again from them on 09-27 and still do not have my order. Something is not right with them at this point. I will still use them but not on anything that I am even remotely in a hurry for.

I hope that you are right and I will follow this advice. I am skeptical though. Maybe it will work out though.

In the end, this is probably correct. I will let you know once I complete it, which will be a few days still because of a lack of time and the fact that Ribble is slow on my last order. I am waiting on my stem and pedals. I have a arse hatchet of a seat that I pulled off of my Giant mtb. The only seat that I have ever not been able to get comfortable on. I was going to use that but went with a Brooks B17 instead for this build. I just ordered that yesterday but that should complete my parts once they get here.
