Early on in my tenure here, I jumped on a Cinelli SC frame that was in Sacramento, tried to wind it up to pick up at NAHBS that year.

So went to the show, reached out to the seller several times with no reply, it was not confirmed when I left PDX.

Seller had a family emergency so was unable to respond to or meet me.

The frame pickup was a swing and a miss but had a great time at the show. 1,156 mi. round trip.

The seller ended up sweetening the deal quite a bit, not sure if that was why.

On another related note, around the same time the venerable obrentharris delivered to my door the Moto Team Champion frame from the bay area, gotta love this forum.

I have gotten a frame from Austrailia, Washington DC and many points in between as many here have, glad I didn't have to pick those up.
