My personal grail frame + fork has just been handed over to FedEx. Here's hoping it arrives in one (edit: two) pieces.
What do you think it is?

How about we play Twenty Questions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty_Questions) ?

You can only answer Yes or No, and we only get twenty questions.

Here's mine: is it Italian?

La ringrazio, ma per questa volta è no.
