    The longest waiting time!

    Another month of waiting...
    My new frame that was supposed to be here mid-January is indeed still in Switzerland. Now they are saying February 15th.
    It's maybe a good sign that George Hincapie just got his yesterday http://tweetphoto.com/8731702

    You have my sympathy. I am still waiting for my bike frame which is to be repaired and repainted. It has been repaired, but the bike shop where it is sitting is very dysfunctional and depending on who you ask, there are different reasons for why it's still SITTING...
    gee, and for you, these are the best days to ride. At least for me, I don't really want to ride that much, it's cold and dark and rainy.

    the accident was inside a bike box. I was not in the box with the bike so i was not harmed.
    it happened enroute to Phoenix, someone did not pack the bike properly and the cassette more or less skewered a tube.

    Ouch. FYI, if you guys travel a lot, I suggest purchasing trico iron cases, and then learning to do the packing yourself (its not that hard).

    The better option is s/s couplers, but that would have been better to have done before you had the bike made (although if its in the shop now for surgery and painting you could consider adding in a retrofit.........).
