Here is my Rossin received today which has made me very unhappy because .......
having come to me as a darkish blue frame with no forks and stood at the back of the queue until I got a set of yellow Rossin forks with a steerer that was too short and a full set of transfers I finally sent it all off for a new steerer tube and to be painted and chromed. I also got a saddle for it in a snakeskin pattern that went quite well with the pantographed Cinelli stem and bars with black to white fade tape. Why is all this making me unhappy? Because neither I nor the bike shop doing the repaint and chrome have no freakin idea why it is ice blue when every bit of paperwork from me says Pearlescent White and the man who did it says "Oh aye, I remember that's what you wanted but someone thought you had changed your mind". They say they will repaint it but it will take weeks (as in me asking for it in 2 weeks was taken as a joke), they have no idea where to get more transfers and doubt they can get it ready in time to go in the container of my effects going to NZ when we leave the UK in a couple of months. Brilliant.
