Hello,
One gets "bubblegums welds" when welding has been performed too fast.
I am satisfied with the welding job they done here.
End of december I ordered :
Seat tube C-C : 53cm
Seat tube C-T : 55cm
Top tube C-C : 54cm
Middle of may 2014 (five months later) they sent me a :
Seat tube C-C : 53cm
Seat tube C-T : 57cm
Top tube C-C : 53cm
Why such a difference ? Is it because of the aero geometry ?
Communication have been tedious too.
I paid 465 euros for the frame alone. French custom stated that the invoice was missing and charged me 150 euros on top of that. That makes a total of 615 euros. And I had to fill the PROFORMA invoice myself so that french custom "frees" my package.
I believe INGRIA frame "design" is pretty stunning, that's why I ordered. Their Internet site is great too. INGRIA will be "top notch" as soon they understand that communication with the customer is very important, communication all along the way : from the order to the delivery. Communication takes time for sure but it saves a lot of worries and time on the customer side.
I am attaching some pictures (ZIP files). On one of them you can compare the INGRIA "Firestarter" geometry against BROTHER CYCLES track one.
Hope it helps.
