Has Anybody Had Dealings With Bobby From Dixie Flyer?
When I order the frame, he assured me a two week ETA. That was May 17. I am aware that everything is moving slow everywhere. My big concern is the inability to give any information on ETA. I ask and his replay is soon or something similar. Is he just a fly by the seat of your pants kind of guy, or should I be worried?

My experience with DF is - you'll get what you order - eventually.
*I bought the Hellyer bars and went through a similar situation as you are describing, lots of delays and eventually just no reply to my emails (I was not bombarding fwiw) Eventually I did get the bars, and they are fine, but the experience overall definitely turned me off as a repeat customer.

I'm pretty sure that he has the stuff made in China, and right now everything from China is super slow. I ordered something from Amazon -- it showed about 2 weeks in estimated delivery time but it ended up taking 3 months. But, yeah, my drop bars from dixie flyer were several months late -- even precovid.

My bars were more or less on time and he replied to all my mails. I also changed my order and asked a couple of questions. Shipping was from China to Germany.

Damn dude! Look at that Bar drop! Are you Ondrej Sosenka's twin brother or something?
BTW, bike looks pretty sweet.
