I was expecting to be posting up pics of my shiny new fort ro aero and joining the prestigious and glorious fort owners club today. Things haven't exactly gone to plan.
I bought thishttp://rover.ebay.com/roverimp/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=2&pub=5574889051&toolid=10001&campid=5336525415&item=120901988461&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER] last week, after failing to push the button on tomsvoboda's fort sale for ages, and received it in a nicely packaged box on Thursday. After lugging it home via three tube lines at rush hour I calmy unpacked it and held it above my head like the mutha of a trophy it was.
Then to my surprise I see a mark on the back of the head tube - on closer inspection it's a fucking crack. How the hell did the seller not notice this?? It's just a paint chip I tell myself. Wrong. After removing the headset and having a better look the crack goes right through the tube and up inside about 2.5 inches. Gutted.
