Now, for the builder...with no "good excuses", they should offer a nice discount, as a way of saying sorry ofr the delay. I know I do when I go well beyond the estimated delivery time.

The builder said he was busier than expected because of the handmade bike show, so I'm curious... Did you get that behind because of it? He ordered it last November and the builder said it should be done by April, claiming it was his slow season. The builder ALSO runs a bike shop with someone, so that could be it too. Still, I can't believe that he was so off.
