Which totally reminds me... the 'how to protect derailleur hangers' thread tonight made me realize I failed to leave feedback from recent transactions.
Recent bike swap with @sloar : His end was flawless, pro-packed, fast ship, no BS. I felt bad when USPS lost the bike I was sending him for a few days, but after riding their ass daily, it arrived intact.
Had a couple of frame sales and multiple part swaps with @3speedslow recently : I know when he's buying, I'm not going to deal with any nonsense. Pays quick, is flexible on payment and always trades more than fair.
Just wanted to take a sec to say "thanks" guys, I appreciate you both. You've helped me complete a couple of projects and scratch at least one bike off the bucket list now...

Oh, and I had such an awesome transaction with @rhm today with some saddle refurb and rebuild from nothing that I posted a thread to gloat about it like a complete ass.

Today, a frame from Vintagerando, the Italvega cola coloured beauty he had for sale. Fast shipping and safely packed. Even left the stem and tire savers with it!
Good times ahead!

Great working with @greg3rd48. Gloves arrived quickly and in perfect condition.
(P.S. No idea if I did that mentioning thing correctly.)

Bought a Cyclone MK II FD/RD set from @purebikes. Took a couple weeks to sort things out but he came through in the end. Would work with again.

Did a front derailleur trade with kevins08, who said he shipped on the 16th of March. I have received nothing at all, and shipped an NOS 8 speed XT front derailleur to this person. Deal at your own risk with this "member".,,,,BD

FWIW, I had this happen once with a forum member. I finally heard from him after a month apologizing for the delay and telling me how hectic his life was. Got the part a week later. I understand circumstances and delays happen but leaving the other party in the dark is not acceptable. A little communication could easily smooth things out. Hopefully it'll work out for you.

It's worse when they say they have shipped, and included a local microbrew for waiting for them to ship, and they left the tracking number in the car, when they never even shipped to begin with. The last I heard anything from him was 3/16.,,,,BD
EDIT: I decided to PM one more time, and it apparently it made it through with the desired effect. There's a box with a tracking number scheduled to arrive today. I am not sure what's in it, but will advise when it shows up later. Still won't do business again, strictly for the fact that I was waiting on something that supposedly shipped, when it never was. It is what it is though. If I receive the derailleur today, then we're good.

And I've bought some things recently as well. Smooth transactions with:
@RobbieTunes - A couldn't resist deal on a set of Ambrosio Elites. Soon to be worn by an Ironman.
@delicious - For a super fine Regal saddle. Also for said Ironman
@lesterp66 - For a very nice Shimano 600EX brake set. Non-aero levers to be adorned by... you guessed it, the Ironman!
@acoffin - Took a pair of Rustines hoods off his hands. Hoping they fit the Superbe levers going on the Olmo.
Thanks guys!
