Supposed to pick up my new tri-bike this AM, well last night the fitter called...as he was building up the bike he realized the manufacturer forgot to braze on the rear deraileur cable stop. Lovely. Frame goes back and I get to wait all over again :^)

John, where did you go for your bike/fitting?

that is the definition of 'suck,' and on Christmas Eve no less. Better now than in April, though. if 'RI' stands for Rhode Island ... probably not doing much riding anyway right now.

I would tell my kids "Now you get to enjoy the anticipation all over again!!"
This is why they don't like me.
I should probably say "That sucks".

Yes guys, definately better now than Spring :^)
To be honest, I'm disappointed but not that upset over it...I am just thankful I had a good enough year to buy a new bike :^)

Fabish Sports down in CT and even though this wasn't his fault, he made a nice offer to make things up to me.

Yes, but every Canadian I know has a shirt that says "Not only am I PERFECT, but I am also CANADIAN".
Guess that guy building your bike didn't wear his shirt that day.

I isn't likely to be omitted on the bikes from China, more appropriate would be if htey put on on each chainstay, and put the decals on upside-down and backwards.
