Thread has cooled down as the frames are with Caren at the mo being paint prepped/ primed (not sure exactly wehat stage) up to 55cm, 57 and 59 are with me getting last bridges. We had a bit of an issue with the seat stays for the last half of 57 and 59, in that we cut them too short so needed to order a load more from columbus. Not the end of the world, as they incorrect ones can go on the next batch on a smaller size.
Another issue we have had is the wait between build and paint is too big to just metal etch and go, they need surface prep. Over 30 frames that is really boring. Another good reason to build smaller numbers quicker going forward I think.
I think that we will be sending them out as and when they are done, so it will be a stream of bikes leaving rather than all in one go. I'm having lunch with caren today, and will be back with a more accurate (provisional) eta after that. Hope that's ok?

Good way to avoid any annoying courier fuck-up delays too. Non-regular heavyweight/oversize collection requests seem to cause a real problem for lots of carriers.
