And thank you for the feedback on the saddle. Much appreciated!
There is a a small company here in Portland that sells shoes among other products. Their European HQ is the NL. A few people do get transferred to the NL office. When they do, their shipment allowance is generous. It’s one thing to pack a bike when you are traveling on your own. When you are moving house and the corporation is paying for it, if something would be nice to have, you take it. So, yeah, I can see how a less than top notch Portland bike could end up in the NL.
