Further to that free shipping scam from BikeNashbar a while back, I refused to pay the freeshipping:=>shippingandhandling "fee" and to their credit they agreed to refund my credit card. Meanwhile, PerformanceBike delivered on their recent free shipping offer which included sending an in-stock part immediately for next day delivery by CanadaFedex and sending a back ordered item separately, later, at no additional charge.

Building up one of those Rumble frames left over from the liquidation of MountainCycle for a bombproof foul-weather commuter. Nice little frame, last of the USA production, and comes with detachable dropouts so the horizontal track-style forkend can be replaced with a vertical dropout if a derailleur was ever desired. Thanks to Cavit8 for putting me onto a supplier of suspension fork parts so I can recycle my old Judy on this project.
