Frame and Wheel is informed that the sample frames are ordered and delivery is November or December of this year. The delivery date may change, and Frame and Wheel will not be surprised if it does, given the small size of the order. Nevertheless, the deal is done and Frame and Wheel is on its way to having an actual product to offer to the market. Frame and Wheel modified the order so that the frames will have internal cabling throughout for aesthetic reasons, and also added an Austro-Daimler logo to the tops of the seat stays (The Puch on the top of the seat stay in the image is not going to be used). Also, the front derailleur will be braze on. The artwork is simple (a white finish), relative to today's elaborate finishes, but that is consistent with the 80s spirit of the frame. Indeed, Frame and Wheel plans to obtain the computer software that will allow the company to do a bit more with the artwork and reduce the risk of a misunderstanding between the company and the manufacturer.
