SFA Pre-orders Y'all
Hello all, good morning. I had hoped to be sending this info out a couple of weeks ago, but unfortunately there were some delays on my part so I do apologize. I’m very excited that its that time again for us to do another run of our classic, Garrett Byrnes SFA frame. Hopefully you were able to see the timeline we put out that showed the road we have traveled doing frames for Garrett. So this email is in regards to pre-ordering them, as it will be the way to ensure you can get what you want. And as before, your pre-order will help us pay for the batch of frames.
Most of this batch of frames will be direct sales. As that worked way better than I thought it could last time. We do this because of how much the frames cost us. There will be some shops that receive them, but it will be a limited amount. We don’t want the frames to cost you more, so the direct route seems to be what works best in this scenario.
Colors will be:
Raw with Gloss Clear
Gloss Black
Dark Roast Brown / RAL 8017 ( this is darker than the last run of SFAs, it’s the brown we did the Barcodes in on the past run )
Deep Sea Blue/Green / RAL 6004
“RAL” is the standard powder coating color system that is used, you can check the shades of these colors if you look up the RAL code number online
Top Tube sizes available:
20.75”
21.0”
21.25”
21.5”
Brake options:
Welded chain stay mounts, cable guide & cable stop
No Mounts, cable guides, or cable stop at all
Removable chain stay mounts & cable guide & cable stop
For the complete specs on this frame, have a look under the Frames section. And if you have any questions at all about these, feel free to email me: joe@terribleone.com
Since you are the one buying the frame, you would know what type of brake set up you would like to have. The removable brake mount option serves a few riders, that go back and forth with taking them off, but it mainly serves the shops and distros because they don’t know who will be buying the frame, and they don’t want to exclude anyone if they are interested, but run the opposite brake set up than what the frame comes with. Meaning, if you are brakeless, then you usually don’t want the bare posts just sitting there, and vice versa. So we offering both welded, and no mounts at all. We are still offering removable mounts, but I would strongly encourage anyone, that if you know you run brakes, then get the welded mounts. But in the end it’s up to you. That was just my 2 cents being added.
These should take roughly 8-10 weeks from the time I place the order for the batch. I will require a $200 deposit to hold your order. Frame cost is $395 plus $25-$30 for shipping if you live in the US, but international will be anywhere from $60-$80 depending on where you live. Once again, these deposits are going to help pay for the order, so I can’t thank you enough. The cut off date for pre-ordering a frame will be the end of the day of Tuesday, Nov. 22nd. A week away. This will insure that these are ordered as soon as possible, thus resulting in you getting your frame sooner than later.
I’m not sure how you would like to pay. Credit card, money order or Paypal. If you choose Paypal, then please include your choice of brake option, top tube size and color in the notes/memo/message part you can add to the payment process. Also, our Paypal address is: info@terribleone.com . And if possible, send via “friends & family” as then we won’t get socked by the fees that come with the other purchase option. Stoked ! Let me know what you think. Cheers !
-Joe
