Sorry - no can do...only got Mag Marchesini's in my garage!

I was merely making a cheap joke at your expense!

Good luck with your quest.

1st trackday is on the 25th April at Mallory. I'm booked in on the Cadwell DSC day mate. I've joined... just ballsed up the last (2nd) cheque i sent to Lizzie and sent it for too little. She now has the 3rd cheque to make up the difference. Trust me, i'm a member

Was chatting to Crust today and he's just bought a nice grinder which i will use on the Heel plates and also a Sonic cleaning machine which i'm going to try the calipers with

Well the on-going project is going along swimmingly

THe carbon heel plates are fitted and look nice.

Downside, my Caliper bolts that were looking lovely are going

the upside is that i've got a nice set of Gold Nitride later forks being fitted with 65mm spacing (and smaller pitch on the bolts.)

The Gold 3 spokes are getting picked up Sunday and being fitted early next week.

I think that's about it until i can afford a nice pair of P34 calipers.

Can't wait to ride this thing one day...

New battery being bought on Tuesday... so we're good to go pretty soon

Well tonight was the last step in my process of building the super sooper bike

Fitted was a set of Gold 3-spokes with Diablo Corsas. Gold nitride forks which were from Bike Enders and are in LOVELY condition. Sweet.

Many thanks to Skids for all the help fitting forks and swapping calipers etc... you should have had pancakes mate, they are yummy

Pics will be taken tomorrow when i get it back up on stands. (just getting air out of brakes )

i'm very happy

Well today was the first ride out.

The slipper clutch is as expected a little 'gratey' on 1st gear, and has a slight judder on the way down caused by baseket wear.

Overall my impressions of the bike are 'why the **** did i ever sell mine' Worst biking mistake i've ever made (or maybe that was Keevil racing in 2001)

I'm sitting here trying to think of any faults.... it pulls superbly, turns like a dream and braking is sweet. Need a bit better weather to see when i start going a little quicker into bends and how the handling is.

Faultless....
