The bike finally arrived. Apparently large packages hide easily.

It was packed rather poorly and it missing half of the front quick release mechanism. It’s at the bike shop now being reassembled and tuned. With any luck I’ll be riding this weekend.

I reported the damage to the seller and he wrote to let me know that he would contact the bike shop and do whatever he could to help. Then wrote me three minutes later to see if I would leave positive feedback so his money would be released. His concern is inspiring.
