THat about sizes it up right there.. I had a similar experience in waiting. I'd figures from the outset that I'd be waiting a few months longer than the man said. it detracted from the whole experience which is why I avoid discussing / recommending or not.. custom.. as the subject pops -up daily here in the forums, often times by those who've never S/O a frame or bike. THINK ABOUT THIS... IF it's such a problem for your man to get a handle on this ...IF HIS Ti. dude is too busy to deal... well .. I reckon that the frame's completion is to occur later.. you are NOT bein' a prick .. THEY are ! GET your $$ back !
