Yes the post is marked 27.2mm... that's a good point actually as I bought it on eBay..... I did check though. In a way I wish I'd bought the wrong post.... easier to sort the problem. They said that the frame will definitely have been reamed more than once throughout the process, and it was unlikely to be the problem.... they think it might be paint of metal shavings or something in the tube..... to which I say for £580 there should be nothing in that tube, or they should make sure there is nothing in it by the time it gets to me!
They have made no mention of the paint yet. I have a feeling I'll have to bring it up. Maybe they are taking on little too many frame builds at the moment.... When I picked the frame up the man I payed kind of sneered at my London address..... "Another one from London" He said.....
They have not met my expectations.... I have had a lot of dealings recently with Bob Jackson through Brick Lane Bikes, and also my Girlfriend is getting a Custom Pista built there and they have been nothing but fantastic, bending over backwards to help with the whole process and make sure my girlfriend, who doesn't know that much about bikes, feels comfortable, and knows what she is buying.
