Try and post those pics. I know you're getting ready to split somewhere, but I suspect many of us would like to see how the powdercoating came out!

Thanks,

That I can do. Just don't know if I can get them on the rig.

Lucky dog! And your shipping'll be a fraction of mine too!

If you could let me know if there are any mounting "issues" too that'd be great (ie how easy it is to route the E-brake cable around the slider supports). I may have them shipped to a relatives place in VT, I'll be there in a couple of months but only passing by, so I'd need to make sure I could get them mounted up quickly since there won't be space inside for them...

Delivered!

They come shipped in about 500 layers of Saran-Wrap (that's an 8.5"x11" piece of paper for size reference):

The only issue I saw with shipping was a couple of the corners rubbed through on the brackets and scratched the powder coat:

These things are beefy. Very beefy. UPS ship weight is 35 lbs. each. The powder coat looks very nice:

The welds are complete. No need to worry about water getting in. While the welds don't look the artistry you will see on a Klein or Cannondale bike, they are more than up for the task at hand:

The only issue with the powder coat was this one chip:

What should I do with that???

No mounting hardware was shipped with them. I e-mailed Emily and she quickly replied that she realized that and shipped the mounting bits yesterday, so I will have them tomorrow...

For even larger versions of these pictures, see my gallery...

Bill, Be sure to taking installation pictures (during and after) and critic the fit-up for us. The finished rails look really good.

I wouldn't worry about that if you actually intend to use them for what they are designed for. They'll have alot more scratches and scrapes all over them in the near future!
