Slight topic drift. Grant's sanguine attitude toward the cancelled custom has me wondering: how do frame builder's view cancellations as a rule?
Provided the buyer accepts the downpayment is lost is the builder usually ok with the cancellation? It is one thing, I imagine if the buyer cancels before the actual build. Here, the bike was built and painted. Someone had to pay JB, I am certain. The many mysteries of the custome frame world!
