Fair enough Del, so long as you know what your letting yourself in for. But then you have seen how I treat them...

hi Si - how thngs? whats your new build?

I'm struggling to get out riding recently, i need some decent local trails!

i managed to lace my cross wheels by following Sheldon Browns online instructions, the rear did take 3 attempts to get [i]right[/i] but the front was simples as radial but you'll probably be best off without that kinda ghey lacing.

i trust your well and shreddin Dartmoor, we've not been down for ages but i'll give you a shout when we are

Neil:
I've checked out Chaz'z site - where is he now? The telephone number I think is Exmouth way maybe???
It was only last week I found he'd left his old bike shop, my lbs, and he actually built my bike for me!
Just curious....
cheers

+1 for Certini's Tony. When he finds the time to get round to it they are very good. And have a haggle with him, even if you don't get much off he is usually a most entertaining person to bargain with 😀 .

Cyclescene also not bad IIRC.

Or if you've already got the bits, I'll do it slighly (but only slightly) less well for a bottle of Soave.
