What a week, I finally had a very serious email/voicemail exchange with the frame builder. Actually it was not really an exchange, more like I send several emails, then threatening voicemails and finally get one email in return. This time I get the name of the sander in California. So I call and leave a voicemail on Wednesday night then follow it up with an email Thursday morning. The email is also sent to the business manager.
All posts about bicycles.
This is one of those things that I am not even sure I should mention. With so much false hope I really should err on the side of caution and not even mention it, but I will.
Okay it’s been a while with no tandem update. Last week I finally got a date that we could center on and work around. Seems the sander has done no work on the tandem frame since the time he as had it. So when pressed to service the earliest date it will be back to the frame builder is February 20th. Form there we should see about 3-5 days before it ships to Nicole and I.
feedI know that some of you in the area split time between road riding and trail riding. I wanted to pass on this notice just in case it effects you.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with SRAM, has announced a voluntary recall of about 175 RockShox Domain 302 and 318 forks.
SRAM issued its own voluntary recall on these forks this past November.
Okay, so we still do not have a new tandem. 
The latest news is that we don’t have any. Brent at Rue Sports is still on holiday in NY and we believe my frame is still at the sanders in California who is also still on vacation. I should have a better update next week.
I guess it’s a good thing that its rainy 
and windy 
here!
Tandem Components
It is getting to be just about that time. Time to start laying out the parts and the tools. Time to prep the work area and get out a few of cloths and polish. Just about the time to start building the tandem. No, the frame is not here yet, but it’s close.
Well, it’s been a few weeks with little word. Found out today that Brent has been sick with the flu. He has a few other project just in front of ours that he says he has to work on then we get our turn. I expect something more concrete by next week, just after the Thanksgiving holiday.
At that point, it will be easier to pinpoint a completion date. I will post that here as we find out more.
Things are moving a little faster than I expected, seems like the tandem will start production the end of this week, yeah! One week to assemble the collection of tubes then off to the sander before painting. Looks like it might even be here by the first of December if not before then.
