t-9

When a new frameset is purchased from Rivendell, does it ship already frame-savered?

No , it does not come treated with Boeshield or Frame Saver, as it's really up to the user to decide such things.

They may do that with the custom frames, but I do not believe they do that on the "stock" models.

Also, FWIW, T-9 is Boeshield, which is different than Peter Wiegle's Framesaver.  I've definitely heard both used for this, though.

And, if you don't follow JP Wiegle's photostream on Flickr, you are missing a consistently wonderful set of images -

Since I've picked up all of my frames in person at RBW, I've always asked them to do it. For the Hunqapillar, since Mark is on vacation, it was Jay who installed the headset, BB and cranks and prepped the frame, and he asked me if I wanted him to add the T-9 even before I asked. His concern was that it might drip while in my car, but I told him to go ahead since I always carry the frame home inside its plastic bag just in case. So he did.

I don't know if they do it for all the frames/bikes they ship.

thanks everyone.

I had just finished building up my Simpleone when I posted this.  So, it's not protected....but I will ride it for now anyway.

Maybe I'll take it all apart before the winter and do the deed.

thanks.

Even though it's easier to do when the frame hasn't been built, you can still do it on the built bike by taking advantage of the breathing holes that are built into the frame, fork and BB, and just remove the stem and seat post. I'd say T-9 will be easier to manage and cleaner as well in case it drips.
