After ordering, and paying, for one (bare frame) on the 21st. of December, in MEDIUM size, I had yet to get a shipping date, so today I made the call. The New Jersey based business (first problem, I'm in Idaho, but their website had the best price and what I wanted in stock, so what the heck). I was told that I had ordered a LARGE size, BUT it had not been shipped yet. After going around with customer service, I finally got out of them that the Worm is no longer being offered, produced anyway, and that their distributor only had a few large sizes left. This got me to thinking, as I'm absolutely positive I ordered a medium, that they tried to sell me a large as the medium, though their site said it was in stock at the time I ordered, was no longer available. It was like pulling teeth to get this info out of them, but it looks like I have been issued a credit on my card. It had better be a direct credit to my card, and not an in store credit, I'm done with them.
So now I'm back to looking for another bare frame fatbike with horizontal sliding dropouts, with 170 mm spacing. AND, as big a triangle as possible, to fit the battery in of course. And, a lower frame (100 mm BB) that doesn't make mounting a BBSHD too awkward. The Worm was perfect all around, it met all these requirements better then anything else I've seen. My XL Rohloff hub will be here anyday, and I just need to scare up a frame. Cycle Monkey has one, perfect for the Rohloff, but in other ways not a good candidate for an e conversion, plus pretty pricey. I already have a new Manitou Mastodon front shock, and planned to use my 26" tires and wheels of my current fat ride, (Motobecanne Sturgis Bullet), plus the handle bars, stem, sus seat, and brakes. I have almost everything needed for what would be my 5 th build, except a bare frame to start with.
