This is what you get when you ask a fellow Paceliner to pack that special purchase! That’s secure:). Can anyone guess the frame? Parts from 4 different Paceliners will soon be attached. Can’t wait....More details to come...

I'm sure it's fine, but I would have put it in a box. ;)

It’s blue. Is it one of those weird gender reveals?

Now that you have a Cyrene that fits, can I buy yours that fits me?

The good Paceliners certainly outweigh the bad when it comes to this kind of thing.

I just bought a virtually new crankset & BB here and both axle and BB were covered in grease, wasn't even put in a bag. Granted it was "clean" grease, but it was real fun opening the package in my office to check the contents. Doesn't everyone at least wipe an item down before they ship it?

Note to self, in the future open packages only in my shop.

Wasn't going to out you friend. It was packed well, just greasy. I'll live.:beer:

We all know where you head is right now.

Leave bubblewrap attached and simply install the components.
That way it will be protected from scratches at the coffee stop!

You got it!

Cyrene?

Absolutely! The 58’s both sold...the 51ish is up for sale! Yes, this is my 4th Cyrene but the only one that is my size in my defense. Had to buy from other side of the world but worth it.

That didn't come in a box!?

There was a box around it, with more cardboard around that and then what you see in photo...it was awesome! I have had a bike destroyed in transit before and appreciate a well packed bike.

I got a rim once 'wrapped' in a black plastic bag..no padding, no bubblewrap, no box..from Europe..amazingly it came thru OK..
I think the OP is saying how well the frame was wrapped..and in a 'box'..

My wink was to imply that I was joking. I assumed a box was used.
Impressive packing job. For sure not everyone does this. Kudos to your seller.

I've received 2 frames that were just placed in a box with no other support/protection. 1 even had the fork removed and banging about.

Pack it like you'd want to receive it.

That's pretty much the way I pack my bike every time I fly with it in a soft case.
