That's shocking, why send the frame with the hanger attatched? daft. I'd start demanding free stuff.

You're not having any luck with this at all are you?

indeed - have email tonight and will call tomorrow. I understand things happen and I'm not someone who goes "off at the deep end" but just frustrated with the whole situation.
 
At this point I'd start having alarm bells about how the frame will stand up on the trail..

Incidentally every frame set I've ever seen over the years has come with the hanger attached.
 
Unlucky booyaka, thats bad luck :(

I'd be thinking of looking for another frame I was in your shoes, unless you are completely set on that?

Been watching Strength In Numbers and I want a Commencal :(

At the end of the day, it's a snapped rear mech hanger which appears to have happened in the box on route, and previously the mis-shaped head cup could also have happened by it being dropped on route.

If the frame arrived broken or missing bits etc then I would be concerned but looks like both matters have happened in transit.

either its really fragile or they were very hefty drops (which are the forces involved going to be much dissimilar to drop ins etc?)..
 
Superstar is becoming one of my fav online shops now. I'v used them a few times recently as i'v been collecting various spare parts for a race at the end of the month (brake pads, rotors, etc). Just bought some grips as well:

13:50 - Place order
14:37 - "Your order has been dispatched."

Same thing happened last order as well, and they arrived the next day...with haribo of course :D
 
i was a bit miffed that they were still advertising same day despatch on wheels when it took them a week.. but yes haribo and stickers made up for it :D

I didn't get any stickers :(

Also, on the lookout for some used shifters for my bike to finish it off, 3x9 speed shimano build if anybody knows of some going cheap ;)

They definitely do things right, other companies should follow their lead. Good advice, great prices on great products and quick service, you can't ask for more.

Can you guys help me value these second hand bikes please?

Carrera Fury With Tora Fork

Kona Fire Mountain 2011

Was considering offering £220 for the Fury or £200 for the Kona but how much are they actually worth?

Both are 20" frames and I'm a smidge under 6' 2". Would that be okay or do I need a bigger bike?

I'm not sure of the value of them, but i would choose the carrera over the kona.

20" should be big enough for you. I'm 6foot and i would usually ride an 18" frame.
 
Is there any advantage to having a mesh headtube logo, other than allowing water into the frame?

Nice looking bike though.
