I know you want this bike so if you have the perserverence and want to wait a long time (it seems); send the bike back, with a letter in writing about what is wrong with the bike, what they said they would do and what they did not.

Then, tell them you would like it replaced with what you ordered. List everything you want in detail in the letter in writing. Ask for conformation of a price in writing for that exact bike with everything you want, plus tax if connecticut charges tax.

Also, ask for confirmation in writing for approximately how long it will take to deliver the bike that you want.

If your dumpster cleaner is not willing to give this to you in writing, when this should be standard procedure for a business, then do not deal with him. Are there any other dealers for these bikes in USA? If so, try one of them.

Get everything in writing is the key. Then you have something to hold them to. jan
