Yeah, I suppose you're right. I guess I was thinking of a CYA kinda thing in case it wasn't actually fine in the long run. But it's true - there's not much that UPS can do, since I didn't actually pay to have it fixed. I guess it's just one of those unfortunate situations that (hopefully) worked out okay. The seller sent it padded with newspaper! I mean, no wonder it got bent! I'd really prefer to keep the bike. I posted on the Terry forum to see if they have any thoughts/insight that maybe I should be aware of.

So yay for steel, since the LBS guy said if it was aluminum, it would have been shot.

Now I just have to wait to bring her home so I can try her out!
