Why I love the Paceline

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.

Crap, was that me? I thought I wrapped everything up nicely. My brain has been failing me a few times lately though and I apologise if I neglected to wipe it down.

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

We all know where you head is right now.

Talking

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

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.
