Big time today, woke up with a phone call from Armourtex, first thing in the morning, to pick up 2 frames... to my surprise, and despite the finishing on both frames being impeccable, they.....errr...... swapped the friggin' colors!!!! To the point that the RAL references clipped to each frame were swapped as well... If you are taking more than 1 frame/part, make sure you repeat yourself... jesus, I did! and still this fuck up happened. I'm just not that pissed off because I love both colors and really at the end of the day I can cope with this, they are very similar on the pics, but waaaayyy different in flesh(metal)... but I had to pay £132! no discount even for the (fucking!!) mistake.
Here they are:
53cm Peloton Anthracite Grey (RAL 7026) (this was supposed to be RAP's colour)

57cm RAP Ocean Blue (RAL 5020) (....Peloton's)

Anyway, apart from minor details, it turned out great.
(...make sure you ask for the seatbinder holes to be covered... now i'm screwed literally, the nut side won't go in.... bollox)
