The Sweetest Sound

[Jeff N.]

I ask you: When you're expecting a frame to be delivered on any given day, especially when you've been waiting over a year for completion, is there any sweeter sound as when the FEDEX or UPS truck pulls up in front of your house, puts on the brakes, and slides the door open to finally bring you the big box?

It's good. Like knock-your-kid-down-getting-to-the-door good.

How's that de-acquisition strategy going? ; )

That was fast wasn't it? I feel like it was just recently we discussed head tubes for this one.

Do you have pics :) ?

Funny you post this today...about an hour ago I checked the tracking link for my new frame, shipped out Monday and expected next Monday, and it says Out for Delivery! Maybe I'll record the sound of UPS knocking for everyone ;)

Maybe I'll record the sound of UPS knocking for everyone ;)That's another thing, reading the "out for delivery" notice...a beautiful thing indeed! (That is, besides the big brown truck with its screeching brakes, the driver killing the engine, the door slamming open, him disappearing into the back of the vehicle temporarily, before emerging with a big box and asking for your signature. Yes...yes...YES!

I meant to ask you to spec it a with a couple of cm taller HT and a 71.5 seat angle; that would be a big help later on. : )

Jeff pal, the only sounds we can hear are the ones coming out of your garage -- the chest beating and wailing of both current and past concubines that you have kicked out of bed. They are crying for blood and coming after you in your dreams with sharp pointy objects...:help:

Holland
Richard Sachs
K.Bedford
Moots
Parlee
Eddy Merckx
Merlin
Serotta
Colnago

The list goes on and on...do I need to say more? :D

Wait! You have them deliver the box to your house. I typically tell them I'll pick it up at the distribution center as soon as it arrives in my zipcode!

Nothing like a new bicycle.
