shaper Posted November 30, 2014 Share So I get back from my morning ride yesterday and no sooner am I back than my local post office phone me to say one of my packages has arrived for collection... that's a first the local po phoning me Finally my frame had arrived which was shipped end of September..... unfortunately my shifters for the build coming from the UK are still somewhere in the SAPO system, so the build cannot proceed yet !! The frame and parts took so long to come due to the strike... and as am off the the UK in 2 weeks have decided to upgrade from Ultegra 11spd to Dura Ace.... so will do some shopping whilst there and bring back the upgrades as hand luggage As for the frame, packaged very well and no damage, great quality and finish, came complete with headset and spare cable guides for the possible future upgrade to DI2. First thing I checked after the once over of the frame for any damage or defects was the internal routing... all clear if a little tricky to do. Very happy with the frame and looking forward to the build, even if this is now going to be after my trip to the UK when I bring back the upgrade I guess I can now call this a Christmas present from me to me Pics of the frame as delivered Unpacked On the Couch Overall Look Goodies for the build Delgado_073, Steven Knoetze (sk27), Butterbean and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
