Thanks to all of you who assisted in my claim with Fed Ex. I received a check today for my claimed value plus the original shipping amount for my bent Eddy Merckx frame. I received help from several list members, and was also able to keep the damaged frame. It's a wall hanger right now, but as my winter projects dwindle, I'll start the next chapter in the frame's life and look into repairs and re-paints. For now, I'm just thrilled to have found a replacement frame from list member John Morrison with help from Brian Baylis and company. Thanks Bob Freeman and Peter Mooney for the estimates.
Is this a great group or what!
