gts/triton

I think that ST are the only ones to do a standard nosecone. GTS and Luego only do taller ones.

Cheers, i will try some of those suppliers.

I couldn't comment on Lolocost quality as i have been waiting for over two weeks for them to supply a nosecone and the guy phoned me today to say that (after many excuses) that they dont have GRP anymore and that basically Locost builders are more hassle than they are worth and that he is cancelling the order!!!!

quality service with a smile.......

I have seen other people 'commenting' about Lolocost before, but decided to make my own judgegments on them - it is safe to say that i now have, and its not good!

Any other suppliers or prices are welcomed.

I have a Triton nosecone, now available through GTS. Not the cheapest around, but the best quality GRP I've seen for a while. Very heavily laminated!

I agree with David GTS,the quality is bang on,same goes for thier mudguards.
As far as I'm aware they are standard but Darren did say he was doing a taller/wider one also.
Cheers,
Bob

I bought mine from MK, very nice quality and pleasant service.

If only they would post, it was a long drive from Scotland

Triton/GTS deserve support.

They're a very small outfit. I found them nice to deal with, hardworking and diligent.
I bought a standard size nosecone from them. I can't remember exactly how much it cost but it was a fair price, high quality and I'm very pleased with it.Image deleted by owner

Cheers
