Finally today after ordering a frame that said it was in stock the week before Christmas I received a definite answer on what had happened to my order. They haven't got any in stock and were never going to get any more with the Dekerf stays. So I have been offered the option of either pompetamine frame or waiting for the new one until February. I've got some bb7 brakes in the loft but it would mean rebuilding my wheels with 135 disc hubs, also I cannot find a 1 1/8 carbon disc fork other than the kinesis one and I don't like the way it looks. So if anyone has any suggestions of other forks I'd love to hear....
The thing that has left a real pissed off bitter taste in my mouth it was that it took three weeks of them fucking about to tell me they could not supply a large white pompino, that all of the blue ones have gone too and if I want to use rim brakes I have to use their 'new' frame. One of the occasions where I have to agree with Tester, the new frame is built to hit a price point and for that you lose the only design feature that set it apart from any other cheap steel frame, not because of mud clearance or any other reason than because it makes the frame cheaper. So, because of their fuck up you can't buy a frame that won't be made again because of price constraints.
