Two hours after the R+L provided delivery time window, we have a delivery!
The biggest initial damage was the wooden pallet itself! Whoever built it just butted up two small pieces of wood instead of a single piece and decided to nail it together thinking it would be structural! The metal frame itself was in excellent condition. There was a single bent frame diagonal brace in the front where after removing the black plastic wrap the cardboard was pressed in as something gave it a good bash in the front. I quickly moved the electrical harness and light aside and noticed the forks are already pre-installed for packing in the shipping box. The right hand side one has a tiny bit of metal showing where something rubbed during the bash but nothing looked dented or serious. The right hand side of the bike looks really nice. No initial damage found in a fast cursory inspection in the failing light. The left side initially looked good. But the light had failed by this point and the garage light wasn't good. It took me a while but I finally noticed the left plastic under the seat had a big chunk taken out of it. If this and the small scuff on the right front fork is all the damage there is then I am very happy with the state the bike arrived in! -- I was so worried not knowing if I would win the freight lottery or not.
