Team America - World Police, that's what I'd suggest. No thinking needed while watching.

210 framesets have shipped. There is one known issue 3 blue 53 1" frame orders were sent 1 1/8" frames.
Let me know who you are and I will get the right frameset out to you.

About my business practices I don't do web design, I can't answer all the emails I get right away. We have 2 phone lines. If we are on them, The phone seems to keep ringing on your end. Best time to call is the afternoon.

Anyone looking to relocate to Middleburg Pa. and help out answering phones and answering emails should get in contact with me. There is a job waiting for you.

So far I have installed a water bottle cage and found a late-80s Shimano 600 crankset and handlebars in my spare parts box. I may have a seatpost I can use, too.

What do I win? :)

Man is the blue in your picture what your frame looks like in person. Mine has much more green in it like aqua marine. I gotta think there is more than one color blue, different paint runs or something.

Have you taken it outside? Apparently it looks MUCH better in natural light and looks like total crap indoors.

Got mine. Looks nice other than the paint gone on the track fork ends. Oh well, I have no idea whether to be grateful or annoyed. I'm somewhere in between. If I could get some touch up paint, that would be great I think. So maybe when everything calms down, I'll ask about that.

If you have the blue frame ,that looks slightly greenish blue inside, I found almost the identical color touch up paint. I painted my cable guides, since I'm going to run a rear brake. I got it at pep boys it is the dupli-color brand spray can #dsgm440 Bright aqua metallic clear coat and then a can of the clear coat spray. My cable guides look almost like the factory finish. It does state on the can that this paint may damage some exsisting paint so I don't know how it will effect powder coat, but the color is almost a dead on match.

I walked in the door and was upset because, first I had to take a leak, then I was asked what I wanted for dinner, then a call came in... DAMMIT! I just want to look at my Special Edition, BFSSFG Flat Black, 53cm w/ 1 1/8 headtube Frame that I've been waiting for, for months... it's finally in my house and I can't sit down and open my box to check out my new baby**********? LEAVE ME ALOOOONNNNEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Then I beheld... a most beautiful sight. aaaahhhhh. :love:

Awesome!

For a budget frame? Not to me!

I aint entering in any "who can build it up first" crap contest.

This is for my pleasure.

I have a coupla Yeungling in the fridge... :beer:

Got mine on Tuesday. Great frame, perfect condition. The fork is a bit heavier than I imagined, but I couldn't be happier with the frame. Thanks a lot, Tony.

Yeah the color looks true. I like it a lot better than other pics I have seen of the blue.

BoSoxYacht 07-05-07 07:45 PM
