for context, it's not just the lip, you can see if I try to insert a fork, it doesn't go through because the main part of the head tube is also bent inwards

If i were to diy, I would have to bend the lip back to sit the bearing , and then also use a clamp to squeeze the main head tube round again so the fork can pass through

I don't think it's possible if 20 shops around me have taken a look and declined to help, but idk

yeah, Robert replied and told me to repair it , but the bike shops in my city (there are about 20) all said no to aluminum frame repairs because of potential cracking, I asked Robert for a replacement, waiting for reply

I paid via wire transfer , I highly doubt I'd get it back, I simply put trust in Mielec , they did deliver, but the packing was not enough to protect the frame unfortunately, I'm not sure if the package was inured , I do see the packing slip saying value 500, and it was shipped through Poland Post ... to the US and then picked up by USPS

very sad, I'll be out 350 pounds :/ , I don't think it's repairable, brought it to bike shops around me and they all rejected to repair

Robert told me to repair it ... doesn't seem like I'm getting a replacement frame ....

yeah, I'm waiting, I called (+48) 17 5812180, the other # on the website, some lady picked up but I didn't know how to speak Polish :/, they told me to call mobile for Robert, but mobile #, no one picks up

does anyone know of a working # for mielec? I tried the one on the website, no dice, no reply from email :/

!!! will update , I really hope for the best

yes, I hope they reply soon ! tyty

idk how that process works for postage insurance, do you know if the seller claims it? or the buyer

yes, I have emailed them, and I'm asking here in case someone else has experienced this before :/

you think Mielec will send another frame out?

very sad, it seems that the inner head tube is also bent, I don't think it's repairable

the frame came today, and the head tube lip is bent in , how does Mielec handle cases like this , likely bent from shipping

not too bad , may be a hike of 100 Pounds more than what it was previously , depends on the build, I paid about 350 pounds shipped internationally for just the frame, no fork

I ordered the same build as this bike in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJLloLb00_k

different color and size, that's all

I placed an order ! Hoping to get it soon ty all for your help

yes, apologies, and will do, ty

Who made this frame !?

hello?

that is very sad, when did you reach out

I saw that as well, it gave me hope ! Haha

!!!!! I'm super excited I really hope they do still make frames, I have emailed them and have messaged them on Facebook !!!!! Do you happen to know the process of ordering
