Hi there-

I just received a NOS Ideale saddle from Hilary Stone, and was truly amazed at how quickly I received it. Literally quicker than a couple parcels ordered at the same time from the East Coast. Your experience must have been a USPS oops.

\r?\n> The Zeus tire holder Hilary sent (the first one) arrived today - it's clearly

\r?\n> dated June 29, 2005! It's just a tiny spare tire holder in a padded envelope.

\r?\n> Either Customs decided it might be dangerous (maybe they thought it was a french

\r?\n> "death stem") or the USPS just lost it until this week...

\r?\n>

\r?\n> Hilary was kind enough to send me another when the first didn't arrive (Hilary,

\r?\n> let me know if you'd like me to return it or just paypal you for the second

\r?\n> one).

\r?\n>

\r?\n> This is the first bike package from the UK that's ever been delayed more than

\r?\n> two weeks...

\r?\n>

\r?\n> Hope no one else in CR land has had the same experience!
