dbrk,
Thanks for the informative and heartfelt reports. I agree with your feelings on not getting the Foco chainstays; they are are one of the nicer features of the CJ. It was flat-out wrong of IF to make a substitution without your consent. On their website, IF represents the CJ as having Foco chainstays. Therefore, it is their responsibility to inform you if a change from their 'standard spec' was to be made, not the other way around.
I'm surprised IF doesn't require the buyer to sign a specification sheet which indicates proposed frame geometry, size and type of each tube, paint scheme, and other pertinent information.
