[QUOTE]It seems if they're worth a shit as a shop they "should/would" not send a warped frame. I guess if they do, they'll be getting it back.[/QUOTE]

Those frames come in a box that they probably are never opened. At that price they are shipped from an Asian country and sealed there and never opened until the comsumer opens box. Surly Steemroller Framesets are about $400. I had one built up weighing about 17lbs with Steel Fork. (49cm). I put 10,000 miles on that bike.

Got this badboy all built up last night.
It's my first red bike and my first with a carbon fork.
It certainly rides like a red bike.
17.5 lbs

Yeah, I figured there had to be a reason they're 400 bucks... I think I'm gonna get one anyways. Has anyone ever bought from Business Cycle in Miami? It seems if they're worth a shit as a shop they "should/would" not send a warped frame. I guess if they do, they'll be getting it back.

Yeah I sold those Gold Velocity wheels. I just got some Sun Venus Rims in Winter camo. Not sure if those will go on my new Volume Cutter Frameset. My First Blue bike in a decade.
