This problem has been resolved w/ the framebuilder. He contacted me directly. My issue was that I emailed (as directed by his website) him twice regarding the frame and never received a response. There was no other contact number or address. I called information for SAn Diego and there was no lisitng. There was no other way to contact him. I did not feel too great selling a flawed frame, that I was not even aware of. I am satisfied with the fact that he got ahold of me and wants to make it right, no matter that I am not the 'original' owner. He obviously wants his product to have high standards and by doing this, he has proven to me that he stands behind what he builds.
Let it go......
