Anyone finish building their bike up? I estimate that within one hour of my bike arriving I will have it built up and have pictures.

i believe tony said that they were shipping out as many of the frame only orders as they could last week and today, then getting on everything else tomorrow, along with the regular IRO orders.

the bummer is that he already said he would combine shipping and now hes going back on that. i had already asked him in an email.
"We will combine shipping and charge the card for one shipping price.
Tony"

Do you really want two bike frames bouncing around in the same box, potentially damaging each other?
Shipping a heavier package costs more, shipping two frames safely requires significantly more packing (costing more), and it's a lot more work (time=money) for a great guy who's hooked us up and is making all of $2 per frame off of this. In the long run, it would cost just about as much to ship them together as separately.

he wasn't lying.
your card was probably charged one shipping price to ship 2 frames in 2 boxes.
the shipping is pretty cheap. definitely not worth complaining about.
the complaints need to stop!
Tony did something nice here, did us a favor, and you facks are facking whining.
