It would appear that I have been too critical of Jungle and SCUK. They sent me an email saying all that has been said before about original owners etc but then said that they prefer to see SC riders on their bikes rather than sitting around not riding. Sooooooo, they searched for a replacement front triangle for me, which has come from the USA. It’s not the same colour, it’s red but I’m getting it for crash replacement price. My stealth machine will now look like a funnel web but I’m quite liking the idea. I am publicly eating humble pie, and I don’t mind doing so. SC _do_ stand by their products and their support has been very helpful. I will now be encouraged to look their way when it is time for a new bike, I’m actually quite liking the thought of a tall boy!
So it’s a massive thank you to SCUK and to the likes of adrianmurray above – “yer maw”
