Manchester ahead of the curve.
No build pics as I only have cranks so far to attach to it.

thats more than Chainbreaker had, and his thread was doing just fine.

Just arrived here in edinburgh. Bad news though, my frame's headtube lip is bent.

:(

ouch... transit or poor manufacturing?

Hammer it right...

Aww man, that's shit :( did they package the frames well or not? apart from that how are they looking? paintjobs ok? is mine doing alright?

BBlack, nah, it's not even a proper box. Yours is bent in the same place as mine, but not as bad, you can barely notice it.

oh shit! more than one damaged?

Mine too, but should be fixable. I like the forum names on the BB shell, despite the spelling. I'll just have to become snottyottor. Clear coat looksa little too shiny and shows up the scratches on the frame, I might sand it all down if I can be bothered. Not as heavy as i was expecting, just over 1.9kg.
Emyr's non IHS is fine, so might be the thinner walls on the IHS and poor packing than got them bent.

Emyr's non IHS is fine

\o/ !!

Did they spell mine right?

I think so, i only had a quick look, it's not as prominent as mine under the paint though.

Sorry if the pics are big, on my phone, same excuse for therm being shit.

That's awesome, I didn't spot mine under the paint until you mentioned it.

Balls, I'll sort it when I get to a computer.

Andy did it for me

That looks very cool snottyotter. Did you make the design with bikecad? I hope you can fix the headtube.

These were part of the big group order, I think options were
1 plain Mash
2 Mash+Wishbone
3 Mash+Triple

so the base geometry is the same Mash.

When the London frames arrive, wont be able to collect until around the 29th. Hope that's cool.

Nice touch with the user names on the BB shell.
