What did D+D charge your friend for the black/orange job? I'm
actually curious as I'm considering a respray of an old Basso
frameset.


Hey Tom -- how about answering the question?


I gave you the phone number of the shop. Do you have a problem calling and
asking them directly? Or are you really the sort of person that requires
other people to do your enquiries for you?

Oh, wait, you're simply too stupid to dial a phone!

I do. You brought it up and should follow though with something
useful. Besides, based on the amount of time you spend in RBR and
writing poorly conceived letters to editors you clearly have limitless
time on your hands. Besides, you might as well do something useful
since thus far your contributions have been: (a) some marginally
entertaining name calling, (b) a vague reference to a dead hot rodder
(very helpful really) and (c) some additional ranting on about what
you think a paint job should cost.

I have noticed that those who write like you are generally pansies.


Hmmm, funny because my impression of people like yourself is that your
mommy protected you too long as a child so you never got punched hard
enough in the sandbox to learn proper manners and civility.

That said, is "pansy" really is that the best you can come up with? I
mean this isn't the 1940s anymore. I'm sure you can work up a good
lather and do better next time. C'mon entertain us.

That should be a good conversation:
Mark: Hello my name is Mark. I was wondering what you charged Tom
Kunich to paint his frame?
D & D : Sorry but we don't discuss other customers business.

Then by all means drop by and see for yourself. Don't let the fact that I
grew up in east Oakland and went to Castlemont High School clue you in on
anything.

Aside from the fact that you need someone to hold your hand because you're
afraid to call the painter and ask him how much it costs to paint your
unknown bike in unknown condition? Yeah, I think that's pretty discriptive.

Bet you think you're pretty in pink as well.

Personally I'm enjoying this conversation. I give the phone number of the
company and tell him what town it's in and he wants me to provide him a
service. Precisely identifying what he is I assume?

Yeah, what you paid in the past isn't really relevant. Because the
building materials market is so volatile we only guarantee our
estimates for 90 days. Even then things change so quickly that we
almost always call to double check prices before doing an estimate.
Customers really have a hard time with just how volatile prices
actually are so we encourage them to check for themselves too.
Can't do much more than you did.

Especially since it wasn't mine and as I said the bike painted belonged to a
friend of mine. The paint was mixed special to match the Meltemi orange that
Merckx used that was almost red. My friend just returned from climbing the
Stelvio and showed me pictures of the Merckx bikes in the little chapel of
Madonna de Ghisallo - they were almost exactly the same color.

Can't do much more than you did.


I can point out sissies when I see them.....

Man, getting punched in the sandbox must be almost as bad getting gored in the
gazebo.
