I guess any warranty issues and you’ll soon become unstuck.
Have you a receipt?
Errrr.... funny story

Rich, it’s karma you’ve had some recent ‘issues’ so the universe is just saying sorryPickers wrote:A properly huge cardboard box containing..... the wrong bike!!
Having ordered a spanking new alloy FS bike, I was not entirely disappointed to find they'd sent out a new carbon Cannondale Scalpel Si. Do you think I should say anything....?

Oh FFS this is getting silly.
I was expecting two deliveries today, one has arrived and is the wrong bike.
Just had the second one land. It's got DPD all over the box, which is right.
Feels light though for a pint of Stans fluid and some other bits and bobs.
It's the wrong address, not my box.
Not f**kin cheery Friday here!

Re: The post man's been ...
Bad luck Rich, although the frisson of pleasure at getting more than you asked for could offset the disappointment of then having to hand it back. Am trying glass-half-full but suspect it may not be working .
And Sean's shoehorn/trowel/spoon tripling-up weight-saver = brill . But a top example of TLS. An interesting challenge for a wet Sunday afternoon might be to work out which single bit of gear has the most alternative uses. In fact I'll bet Stu's already got it hidden away in the shop somewhere whatever it is.

Re: The post man's been ...
Received the BB jersey and gilet a little while ago and used them for the first time last sunday on one of my longer rides this year. Did the job really well
Good fit too.
Big thank you Stu
Must admit that I don't like long zippers, so might get rid of em, but besides that, I really like them.

And brought me a steel frameset. Legend Fedaia made from good old Columbus Spirit steel. Larger tyre clearance extra room for the Revelate bag inside the frame to grow...
Extra space for the water bottles to not be too much of a squeeze too!. Happy happy days

...and dropped off stuff a few bits and bobs....more bubble wrap than I can shake a stick at, a soft case to protect my Fender Urge on its trip home and my wife's BB jersey. Happy days.

Trouser clips for my teeny tiny ankles (F*CK OFF SCOTT!).
Am currently doing a test on the turbo trainer every day to try and work out what the hell has happened to my fitness and they mean I don't have to mess around getting changed. :)

I tend to wear pretty short socks, so not that helpful.

Re: The post man's been ...
A shwalbe tyre booster and some stans jism arrived yesterday, had a go with it before putting away for santa and I must say it's rather ace.
Re: The post man's been ...
WAHAHAHA!!A properly huge cardboard box containing..... the wrong bike!!
Having ordered a spanking new alloy FS bike, I was not entirely disappointed to find they'd sent out a new carbon Cannondale Scalpel Si. Do you think I should say anything....?
Somebody, somewhere has got a much bigger disappointment waiting for them!
Another bike box! I'm stuck at work at the moment. Bloody hope it's the right one this time!
Oh, and I make no apologies for the content of the box.
