Wing has just emailed through a image of the frame, the paint job looks fantastic and I can't wait to see it in the flesh!

For an idea of the timeline:

First email to Wing - 26/04
Payment made - 27/04
A couple of technical questions in emails between then.
Photos of frame sent - 11/05

I will let you all know when the frame arrives with me and ready to build!

How much was the frame??

How much was the frame??

This is all in USD:

FM1306A-SL : $560
Headset :$15
Rear axle : $ 15
Extra rear derailleur hangers: $8ea
(One is included with the accessories and one is mounted on the frame.)
Chameleon paint: $125
Shipping cost(1 set of frame in one box):$ 230 + $50 if you live rural/remote (I am near the city so didn't need to pay)

All up I paid US$995. A fair bit more than I wanted to spend - but I was more interested in paying more for a reputable manufacturer.
