Is Kelly Bedford still in business?

[karen33]

Yes, he is. Great guy, btw.

My tig'd Bedford cured me of bike lust. It's pretty much perfect.

Glad to hear KB is doing well and still building!

And you thought tracking down Kelly was the hard part...

What's $1K among friends?

(in a soft whisper) I didn't say how MANY $1K it was going to take!

Two words: "It's safer."

It has always worked for me.

I thought a grown ups had a personal slush fund for times like these..
My slush fund is in an old wooden cigar box in the gun safe. Nothing but Franklins go in there.

So, I got the thumbs up from the wife to pull the trigger on a new bike, but.....

No Kelly Bedford!

Hi website is down, he is not responding to emails nor texts. I hope everything is alright with him...

Kelly, if you see this, please respond to my email or text.

That's what I'm doing wrong. Too many Lincolns and Washingtons in the slush fund.

These are unusual times and, from my experience, Kelly may be hard to get in touch with. Maybe ping Smiley. I have bought two bikes from Kelly and both experiences were great.

On the first page he responded. Wonder what happened?

I know this will come as a surprise to most here, but not everyone checks the forum 18 times a day...

um....that's 18x/hour bub.

I wasn't talking about just the forum. His site is apparently down and not answering emails or texts, per Steve. And that's after he'd already contacted him. Just curious myself. Hope it all works out.

As Kelly's site is down, it is possible that Kelly's domain has lapsed and hence his site, nor his emails are working. But that's purely speculative.

With all of the custom builder horror stories we have heard over the years, you'd have to be crazy to order from someone who can't communicate properly., especially before the get their deposit.

Hi email address is a gmail account and I have his cell number, which I’ve texted twice.
