Interesting story: Upon arrival of the bike, Andy asks me politely if the seat, front brake, and other misc. parts were included in the sale. Whaaaaaat??? Apparently at some point of the journey north, the secondary box containing all the parts I took off for packing found a new home. I'm picturing the chest-buster scene from Alien, but that's how my mind works.
I contacted Bike Flights with the claim over the weekend, and they got back to me Monday. I forwarded them the pictures of the parts before shipping, and the ones Andy took of the tampered-with box. By Tuesday morning they issued me a credit for the missing parts! Satisfied Bike Flights customer!!! Keep an eye out on ebay for a Brooks B18 and a Paul Racer front brake... you know where they came from!
