I'm owning up. It's me that has the refund. Mainly due to the thought that this is not the bike I pre-ordered. It may be good, but not what I was lead to expect from the inital .pdf. The new bike is also too jarring to me visually.
Sorry to the list if I've made too much and lead to discord. Not my wish. Do not want to alienate others because of my own stupid ideas. Am not mad at Rivendell at all. The blame (if there is any) lies squarely with me in this case.
