The dented headtube is an easy fix, bit of bending with pliers and hammering the round end of a spanner at it and it pops out fine, squeeze your bearings in and job done, maybe stick a bit of inner tube over the bit you're bending if worried about paintwork.
this is exactly what i did when mine came damaged, though I'm not surprised considering this is the box it came in

Just noticed the bars on that felt! My eyes, they bleed...

You spec that? I can get 28 in mine pretty easily and got a 25 in there slammed totally with a nice amount of space.
I guess the chainstay length must be slightly shorter with the triple triangle frames.
Ah man little disappointing the prices are going up. Might shoot Robert an email to see if he'll give me a discount as a returning customer
I still feel like I got a good deal and to be honest I don't know how they were making any money from the prices they were originally charging.

What fork is that Chin?
Its from a 2011 Argon 18 Radon. http://www.ykkbikes.com/sites/ykkbikes.com/files/product_images/big_Radon_V1.jpg
I got it for £36 basically brand new off ebay.

nice! it looks pretty good with the silver chainring to match the wheels I reckon. That rear clearance looks tight as fuck!
Thanks, yeah I think ill stick with the silver ring. if I slam the wheel in the dropouts the tyre touches but they are 25c's. At the moment there is about a millimetre clearance.
Very nice build The Chin, How much did your frame set you back?
Thanks mate, it cost £204 all in all with custom tubing (triangular top tube, oval downtube), custom geo, sparkly paint, smooth welds, integrated headset, triple triangle and brake cable stops and mount.How long did you have to wait for your frame in total Chin, Robert has told me mine was being sent out start of the week, but its Tuesday now and I still havent heard from him, its starting to piss me of to be honest, was originally told 4wks, now in week 7, and honestly on the verge of telling him where to stick his frame, I swear if this place were in England I`d be on his doorstep with a few choice words about customer service ffs
My frame was sent out on the 7th and i received it on the 18th. I understand your point but it really is a quality bit of kit, it'll be worth the wait!

sorry to disappoint, no new drop-out sadly, guess I must have been one of the last to get the old ones.
P1100411 by The Chinnnn, on FlickrStill a couple things need doing but its not looking too bad, getting a new black headset tomorrow, headset spacers going to be black. Trying to decide whether the chainring should be black too or not. opinions?

Well my frame finally arrived! very pleased with it, the colour is a purply pink with rad fade from front to back, light to dark. As with a couple of other people my head tube was dented in transit but its not the end of the world, just bent it back. the custom geo i ordered turned out perfect which i was a little worried about to begin with. its 95% built, just waiting on a headset.
Will post pictures tomorow -
negaatio, did you get a tracking number or something like that? when did he say he sent it?
If you were ever wondering what a mielec would look like with a 135mm suspension fork attached then here it is.

This is the product of the need for me to revise and my procrastination.
