Goat frames update

Jeremy Sycip called yesterday to update the status of the latest frame for Darrell. He asked if it was supposed to have the Salsa drop outs on it since that is what he had put on the frame. On the 26" wheel bikes, the Salsa drop out is stock so I told him we were good.......until wES came in the next day and told me we were supposed to have sliders on it, uh-oh. Quick call to Jeremy with the bad news and now Darrell is first in line for his new new frame. I guess the silver lining would be an extra Goat frame for stock! If anyone has been thinking about a frame and didn't want to wait, this could be a good opportunity. 19" frame for 26" wheels, 100mm fork and disc brakes. The only deviation from stock is the top tube from the 21" frame with a 19" seat tube. We told Jeremy to surprise us with the color so not sure what it will be. He did mention an Azure blue as a possibility but we'll see. wES wanted to get it painted up in Mary Kay pink to mess with Darrell. That is the color of his frame and it would have been cool to see the look on his face when we pulled out the frame with the "wrong" drop outs after a 6 month wait! Then we could pull out the "correct" frame but then Darrell would no longer be the only one with a Mary Kay colored Goat. Maybe we could get some of the make-up sellers to turn in their Cadillacs on a new bike?? Maybe if gas his $4 a gallon again?
