1/28/15 - It's been almost two weeks and no word from PT. Starting to think this may not happen....reason is when we last talked, he asked me a legal question. Paul is an Aussie and his visa is expiring. He wanted to know if he could do it himself or did he need to get an attorney. Knowing that I'm a lawyer, he probably figured I could help him out.

However, Immigration law is a specialty and I know nothing about it! I told him so and that he should contact the local INS office to see what forms are needed and whether he should get an attorney.

Now I'm speculating that if I don't hear back soon, my frame has probably been tabled and who knows if I'll ever get it....

1/16/15 - Ha, I forgot to post that Paul put up pictures on my lugs on his blog!

Go here for two pics:

Hahaha!

1/14/15 - On Saturday, 1/10/15, I received a phone call from PT! He asked how I wanted the seat stays attached to the seat lug?! I hadn't thought about that. I asked him what are the options? 

1. traditional style  is to attach seat stays to the side of the seat lug.
2. "fastback" style is to attach the seat stays to the back of the seat lug.

He said that there is no difference in the amount of work.

After talking with Paul, we decided that the fastback style is the way to go. It has a more modern look.

Now just waiting for some pics of the frame! :)

1/8/15 - Quick update, on 1/5/15 I received a text from PT with 3 pictures of the lugs! Whoo hoo! I've uploaded the pics to my "google drive" but now need to figure out how to access it?! Duh, I know, pretty lame...

On 1/6/15, I shot an email to PT asking if he could drill a couple of more holes on the lugs of the seat lug and his response was:

"Hi Brewster, No problem at all, already done, tubes mitered, going in the jig tomorrow.
Thanks, Paul"

This is starting to feel really really close! 

1/2/15 - Happy New Years! It's been over two weeks and no word from PT!  Interestingly, the "sale" at Ribble supposedly ended on 12/30/14. Yet, the prices are either the same or only a few dollars more.  I did miss out on a used set of black Paul minimoto v-brakes, but the price $135 versus $178 for new, wasn't that big.

Last weekend, 12/26/14 to 12/29/14, the girls and I went up to Tahoe with Terry's family. I emailed Paul informing him of that so if he was still coming to SF, I wouldn't be around. Never heard back.

So, at this point, the ball is in his court. We shall see....
