James, all good points. I've already received an email back from Grant and they'll get it fixed which is fine. The benefits of steel. I imagine that once the frame is fixed they'll need to repaint the whole frame. I sure hope so cause I'd love to get it repainted orange like the original Rambouillets. I wouldn't even care so much about the cream details but I'd also be fine with them. We'll see what happens. I was impressed and pleased with Grant's prompt response. I'll have to break the bike down and get it sent to them but that shouldn't be such a big deal. I've got the box they sent me my AHH in here ready to go.
I'm bummed I'll be without for a few weeks. In spite of the new AHH that I have I think the Ram is my favorite. --mike On Nov 23, 4:02 pm, James Warren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mike, > If Rivendell handles the repair for you, then you win all around from this > experience: > > 1) You get to pick a new color. > 2) You learned a lot in the riding home process (about friction-shifting and > DIY makeshift frame repair). > 3) You got to teach us on this list something (see #2). > 4) You were able to share with us a good story about people helping each > other. > 5) You were the beneficiary of a frame material that gave you warning that it > had failed, so you stopped riding and didn't crash. > 6) You get to ride an AHH while you wait for the Ram to be repaired. > 7) When the Ram is fixed (maybe with a new color), it'll be a little bit like > the excitement of a new bike. > 8) Maybe, if you are getting a repaint, you can get the top-tube ding filled > in while you're at it. > > It sounds like luck to me, not a pox. :) > > Have fun with the repairs, > Jim > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
