So in late December, I sent 3 big boxes of bike frames and parts from CA to a buddy in VA, since I was moving to VA temporarily until I got to my next job.
He told me he got the shipment and it was in his garage--I've been living in a hotel since January and didn't think too much about it until today, when we finally had lunch. Turns out he only got 2 boxes, and the big rolling hard case that had my RFX in it is missing an unaccounted for. I've shredded or lost the DHL receipt, although I guess we can try and track it based on the tracking #s for the boxes he did get. Dunno how successful I'll be given the time delay on a claim--and apparently the boxes were sitting outside his house, so maybe they did deliver it and someone ran off with it. Hopefully my renter's insurance will cover the loss if DHL won't.
This sucks--all the rest of the stuff I sent was parts and frames I was looking to sell before I left the country, not even complete bikes, so I may not have anything to ride this spring. And I really liked my RFX! Oddly, I'm not too emotional about it--been riding so little that it's all sort of abstract. And maybe we'll be able to track it down, but still...
