Hi
I've ordered some - in fact i think i was the first to order from this chap, and i get a sneeking susspision that the items in the photo may be mine! I had a chat to the guy on the phone and he seemed very genuine and a nice guy. He said i could return the goods if I wasn't 100% happy with the welding - which he mentioned was conducted by a pro with 20yrs experience. I'll post up the verdict when the items arrive.
Matt

Yeah, I'm very interested as well. Please let us know as soon as they arrive as I may go down that route as well.

Sierra Options

Just contacted Ant and the Sierra Front wishbones will be available in about 2 weeks.

They are also working on a DeDion axle jig at this moment.

Anyone seen any yet, the £110 kit is less than 1/2 the price of other options!!

Skiing !
Where to you s*d,
I've missed out on a ski hol this year due to spending 5 weeks in Oz
just before Xmas. Suppose I shouldn't really complain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still jealous though.

What you need to know and ask is, has anyone actually used a set?
In my humble opinion they don't look that clever.
Cheap doesn't always get you a better deal.

Ta,

Matt and avoneer have ordered some and hopefully will post pics when they arrive.

Einstein didnt look that clever either and also expensive does not always mean better!!

The guy seems to know his stuff after about a 30 email comversation and considering I also have a set of lolocost bones which are fine - they can only be an improvement.
The guy also said if I am not 100% happy, I can sent them back.
I think he is also going LTD in a few weeks and said his prices will rise.
Can't go wrong!

I was considering a chassis from this chap. They/he seem very genuine. I would have gone for it but have decided leugo is the way to go.. When i finally get round to ordering. The lazer cut front bone plates he does look good too..

I wouldn't have a problem using him but A: My setup is going to be far from book standard and B: I've just spent the last of my budget on the FZR so until i sell some of teh bits I've collected i CAN NOT GET ANY WISHBONES SORTED!!!!
