Dear so-called-engineering shop,
I'm sorry its taken me so long to write this, but I feel that a little bit of patience in life goes a long way -unfortunately in your case, a metric fuck ton of patience got me no where-. I understand that you may not understand exactly the look I was going for when I asked you to cut the rear hoop off my frame and weld on a new one, so it wasn't much of a bother to bring in 5 different photos showing every possible angle.
I also understand that "cut off the tab here, here and here" may not translate to your shop's fabricator, or who ever the hell you let near the angle grinder, so I don't mind coming in and showing you exactly what I would like to see. By the way: 'flush with the frame' doesn't mean take the paint off and leave half the tab on to make it look like a metal toothed woodchuck decided to have its way with it.
Oh whats that? You don't have the equipment to bend tubes? Not a big deal, I'll just order exactly what I need from Dime City Cycles. For future reference please don't act like a U-shaped tube of metal is the coolest and most innovative thing you've ever seen in front of your clients...its unprofessional and makes me feel sorry for you.
Finally I apologize for trying to plan ahead and schedule an appointment with another company that I want to upholster my seat before you were finished. It was wrong of me to assume you'd have done the work I'd asked you to do over 6 weeks ago and I would at least know the length of the seat I needed by now. For this, I am genuinely sorry.
To recap: I appreciate the mangled and half-ass mess you made of my once structurally sound frame. I have provided you with as many materials and help along the way but sometimes its just time to buy my own fucking welder and get shit done on my own.
...its not me, its you :'(
