No, it was Freeskhip.

Grasschopper organized the Miche Group buy.

I know he probably going to wait a few years for a 29'er group buy, but I can always hope. At least if it *is* a few years from now I can afford one.

Did anyone get a duplicate e-mail? My frame arrived at the begining of this month and my credit card was charged for the purchase. I just got another e-mail today saying my order shipped and that my card was charged. Has this happened to anyone else?

I got the same, but the shipping dates was June 29, which is in line with when my frame arrived. I'm guessing that some part of the system was either forgotten about or backlogged.

I got one of those notices.

I called him and he said he was just clearing out all his emails and sent them.

He asked how I liked the frame. I told him I had not built it up yet but I have a dedacciai frame already and I love it. Also that it was a beautiful frame, and I thanked him again for everything.

Yes, they came with forks. If you didn't get a fork, then you definitely need to take it up with Tony.

I got a duplicate email, too. Either that, or Tony is running a 2-for-1 deal that we didn't know about.

seriously! i was almost kicking myself for not buying two. granted I make ****, but this would have obviously paid for itself. Oh well. I still have to get the fork cut, and await my new nitto pursuit bars.

I'm not fronting, I sold one of mine on eBay (for $100 less). You'd have a hard time finding a bigger advocate of the "let the market decide" philosophy than me.
