Cause I really wanted to try a size L and XL before making a decision. I don't think he took notes or...

I don't think the mix up was on their end, this is just one of many mistakes the retailer made (wrong seat post, scuffed up top tube, etc)...

Looks like the stock Turner frame box, so I'm very surprised you ended up with any marks on the frame. Since they did not meet your specifications I would ask for $200 off the frame, or they can replace it (at their cost) with the one you had ordered.

Switch to a 2x9 setup and go with 355's instead of Arches. You'll drop under 24lbs and that is super impressive for a large DW Flux. IME you won't be giving up much in durability and if you do your gearing right, you will get rid of a bunch of redundant gears.

Name the shop so that nobody accidentally does business there. That the worst CS I've head of in quite a while.

Unfortunately (after looking at the pic), I don't think you are going to have much room left on that steerer after you put it on an XL frame.

i'm gonna guess 23.5 lbs. plus you are now obligated to post photos. +1 it'll be sweet. i don't have experience on them, but based on what is posted here, will the 355 rims hold up under you?

Oh man!!! That sucks! Nothing like looking forward to a ride on your new bike and then that happens. Well better to have exactly what you want, since you are going to love it! Ryan

Rough guestimation 22lbs, sounds like a sweet build
