Your right, Elu stuff was the best back in day… hmmmm :wink:

Still got an Elu chop saw that has been on site work for over 10 years and although now a little battered she still goes like a dream. Don’t make them like they used to……

Get yourself a Festool and be done with it…… :D

Big J, whatta guy :twisted:

I’m from Kent and so being one of our neighbours are the French……does that count???

Nothing against them, they are just French and therefore….. well :cry:

what does the voucher do??

Cheers Pinches :D The frame is Gloss white factory painted at the mo…..

Yeh that’d be good if ya could Superdale…..

I guess it all depends on which firm i choose, some i guess are more used to industrial parts and others do more ‘delicate’ work.

One problem is that my frame is a 2002 Scott octane (she is beautiful….) and has the open stem so I’d have to remove the whole headset and the seperate tubey bit….but thats a minor point.

I’m in Lincoln mate…….the centre of nowhere :oops:

Right, so a fairly complicated process…….

Pinches – Do you work self employed or for a company??? either way how much do you think it would cost to recolour a two part full suss frame?? in matt black?? or do you think it’d be safer just to go down the strip myself an have powder coated route (£25ish doesn’t sound to bad to me)

Cheers for your help mate

Cheers chaps/lass’s

I agree wit most of that over £100 is abit steep, not sure my frame is worth that……. but i love her and she needs some new make up.

I did consider respraying myself (I’m a professional furniture designer/maker and have proper hvlp and grav fed spray kit) just not sure about spraying Aluminium (used to my lovely wood)!!! I’ve heard car primer and catalised vehicle paint gives a decent finish when done right.

Anyone done it themselves???

ouch……… 8O

Haha, phew, nearly just did a little something in my……… 8O

seems a little unfair that we all have to go through the stress of tax returns purely so our lovely goverment can decide how much of our very hard earned cash they would like to take and spend on stuff none of us want…… it’s a crazy old world i tell ya……..

I had not even thought about it untill i read this, seems i have better, more exciting things on my mind….like….. hmmmmmm??!!

Anyway, I only became self (un)employed 4 month’s ago, I don’t need to do one this year do I???

I’m a self (un)employed boat builder…… and it’s blo*dy ace :D
……………..although I am poor :cry:

Sounds about as close as we’ve got so far….Supermarket special

So…………any decision on what it is????

and yes, it does look pretty w@*k

?????????
Cos it looks like my grans bike???

Fatty sounds like he’s a big part of the family, much the same as my dogs are…… and I know all you want to do is help the little chap out but like others have said if he’s just slowing down but is still happy then stick with him and be the family he knows and loves till he really is ready to go.

Maybe now is the time to repay a little of the joy and happiness he has brought you over the years by helping him out abit and putting up with some of his old age cranky-ness!!

Do what, in your heart, you feel is best for the little fella and for the family as a whole……
All the best

never seen one before……

any good????

and why OMFG???? :?
