For such a high time and money expenditure, they treated G.E. like she was just dropping by and buying a bike off the shelf.

I need a little bit of separation time from the shop, but I'm honestly not nearly as upset as I probably should be. I think some blame can be parceled out across the board to all involved.<br /><br />I am super excited to get the new frame.

I'm so relieved that you were able to let go of the IF frame. That makes it feel like maybe there's no need for yelling after all. <br /><br />The new builder sounds wonderful, and I wish you all good luck with the new frame. I'm eager to see it and hear all about it.

It was so pretty! But if it isn't right, then it's better to move on. I look forward to seeing the final product as well as what color you choose.

Thank you for the well wishes for round two, also. <br /><br />People do spend a lot of money on cars and other items, but this definitely wasn't one of those things I intended to turn around and sell after only a few months of ownership. I think it was ultimately for the best though (or at least, I hope). :O)G.E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02748009691282638366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948910318159742024.post-70594661297459914462014-10-22T13:52:17.678-06:002014-10-22T13:52:17.678-06:00Very brave of you to try again!

I am amazed rather that the roller coaster of emotions, high hopes followed by disappointment etc has not put you off. Looking forward to seeing the new bike, am sure things will go much better this time round !
