What colour??? Limited stock!

Blue size 550 with ambrosio carbon forks

I know about the forks because I have the blue ones from the Club Tour fork exchange with you.
I want a size 550 believe it or not.
Maybe I buy a new yellow for you and we swap frames?

Doh, of course! I'd be up for that if you're serious, black or yellow would be fine actually - Im getting more enamoured with the idea of a black stealth bike with red bar tape....

I'm actually going to be in Bournemouth in a few weekends time (the 24th I think...) to meet some friends and go cycling so if you want to get the frame to me before then I can bring the blue one down!

Hi!
Good oh. Tell me in open Forum so I have witnesses   and I will agree to purchase the colour frameset you want. You will visit my area before the end of the month with your blue frame in good order (obviously not new) and I will exchange your chosen colour with you. Agreed, handshake?
I will order once you say what colour. Of course if you do accept yellow and it turns up here looking oh so good..
AH! Just re read your post. You need the framset first to swap over components.....

Sounds good, though if I could ask a favour. Would you be willing to order and let me get the frame beforehand (I can go and collect as its just up the road). I only ask because 1. I'm having the bike in the workshop at my LBS this weekend as I'm changing the chainset, and 2. I'm meant to be going riding on that weekend in Bournemouth so need a fully functioning bike!

I will give Dave at Thorn a call in a moment to ascertain if that could be done.

thank you

[leftpoole]

thank you

I am talking with Dave now. Slight problem in as much that if as is obvious, I pay by card, the purchase must be sent to my address.
So it has to come to me and then be sent to you which is fair enough.
Where do you live as a matter of interest as I forget?
Maybe we should continue the conversation through message side of the Forum.

Im in Taunton. I bought my frame by card last time and was able to collect. Maybe that was because it was my card though...

Yes it was because you were Card owner.
I have sent a personal message to you.

So sorry to let you down Dan! honesty has a frame but no forks because he has carbon and wishes to keep them.I have forks but they cost me and I would then have a colour I like but at extra cost and not new! I am not prepared to have a used frame in return for a new frameset! So no deal is going to be made. It was also proving a little troublesome to pay and let honesty take delivery.
I am not worried anymore. I have wheels, saddle, stem, seatpost, mudguards, Sti shifters but need crankset, pedals, cables, bars and so I shall wait! Grrrrrrrrrr

Of course there is an outside chance that I might buy a colour I do not like, to satisfy my thirst!

Which is a pity as I was starting to see my mart black bike with red chainstay protector, red bar tape, red BB, and a red Chris King headset

I completely understand leftpoole's decision though, he'd either be out a fork, or have a black one with a blue frame.

John,

Sympthies and empathies, John.

In the meantime, several quotations on "waiting":

• He that can have Patience, can have what he will- Benjamin Franklin

• All things come to him who waits – provided he knows what he is waiting for. -Woodrow T. Wilson

• I want patience, and I want it now -- Unknown

• Waiting is the hardest part -- Tom Petty

• I ordered it ten minutes ago; where is the delivery truck?!? -- Danneaux.

Best,

Dan.

Been thinking about it and i can probably kick in 50 quid for the black forks if you want to still go ahead...
