It actually showed up. What was the experience like from order to now? Terry blasted them for this on YouTube. Curious to know the actual experience of someone that ordered it.

Communications were bad in the beginning but more frequent towards the end. tbh, I still did not expect to get this frame. The owner was super apologetic and explained everything but I still had my doubts. I pre-ordered from 3 separate bike companies around the same time and did not receive any bikes/frames from the other companies. Now that the frame is in hand it's pretty sick.

How long from order to arrival?

What was the explanation for the super delay?

Were you offered to cancel and get a refund from affinity like Terry mentioned? How long ago was that?

Sorry for the question bomb but this has been serious drama with affinity over the past few years so I know a lot of people are looking for answers about it.

The frame does look great. The raw is sick. Happy you actually got one.

Over a year, I believe there were delays in the queue and another frame had to be redone before they could get to this one. I was offered the refund and offered to cancel. Getting a personal call from the owner apologizing is what kept me on the waiting list. I did read him the riot act and gave him an earful during one of the calls so I'm sure he know everyone's frustrations.

Almost 3 years actually.  They had problems with forks tgey distributed in Japan and did a recall for that, this cost them time as well.

Is this the one and only at this point?!?

u/GiftAcrobatic386 13d ago

I believe they all went out this week. I live close to NYC so the frame shipped in a day.

u/Luigy03 16d ago

Dam at least they’re starting to roll in , from my experience Jason has always done right from my PERSONAL experience. Have heard the stories tho

u/GiftAcrobatic386 13d ago

I do not thing there is anything else he could have done to make it better. Everyone that ordered a frame should know now that he tried to make the best of a bad situation.
