Well, it is almost here. I received a few teaser images from the Rue Sports Business Consultant on Sunday. I am posting them here now. I will update this post this afternoon with a UPS tracking number so that you can follow the frame across the country just as Nicole and I are.
Hopefully this will be the final update until the frame is shipping!. If it’s not one thing it’s another. Believe me when I say that having a custom frame built is one of the most frustrating experiences anyone can ever go through. Broken promises, delays, lack of communication, more delays, more broken promises.
Well it looks like we are definitely at the final stages before delivery of our new tandem frame. The frame is prepped and masked for the initial paint. Just to set expectations the green you see on the frame is masking tape that will not be the color of the bike.
Just a real quick note! Hopefully not an April Fool’s joke.
The sander is done and the frame is back in route to Mesa Arizona. Brent emailed us to let us know that sometime next week it should be shipped to Nicole and I. Can’t wait to show it off and to do a sort of photo documentary of the building process.
The indication I have is that the sanding and surface preparation on our tandem is nearly done. After this step the only thing left to do is to have it painted then shipped to us here in North Carolina.
Here are a few images the sander sent me to show the progress being made….
Got a call on Tuesday from the sander. Spoke to him about a half an hour about various things and what has transpired to get our tandem to where it is today. The good news is that they are working on it. Edgar told me that it should be ready to ship back to Arizona on Monday, March 30.
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.
