I missed the UPS guy today, but I picked the package up at their shop after a while. This thing's a piece of work. I got a 53cm 1 1/8" black frame with a collar. The collar was also black, not silver as previously mentioned - a nice touch. No apparent scratches, love the paint, the dropouts weren't fugly (I was sure they would be), all in all a great $150 frame. The fork, on the other hand, might need to go. It's a bit of a boat anchor, but what can I expect for a $150 combo. Just didn't expect it to be that heavy. Sad, because I really like the overall looks of it.
My pile of parts...doesn't exist yet. Only a bullhorn brake lever. I'm going to the LBS to get things rolling in a month or so, once I've got the outlay for it.
