Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Where did you buy the frame from and how did you pay for it?

I believe you can still dispute debit card transactions, especially if the card is linked to the Mastercard or Visa system. So, I would recommend sending them one more email and/or phone message stating that they have a week to contact you and resolve the issue before you cancel the charge.

yeah tell me about it but the frame with carbon fork (columbus airplane tubing on the frame , nice and solid stiff frame) for 300 is a good deal , this is what happens though when you have crappy QC from taiwanese welding
im going to bug the crap out of them tomm and hopefully have good news and wont have to continue to rag on them

Yeah, I've heard the opposite about Fetish (and was heavily considering a frame purchase).

I'm sure they'll take care of it for you. Not everyone's quick with e-mail replies, and you should relax for a few business days.

Hope it works out!
