Let me know if you're selling though.

I've had magnesium Marchesinis since 1998 - used on the road with no problems.

Mags weigh next to b*gger all compared with the ally ones.

I've got some black mags that I'll be selling in the next few weeks, after I get back from Meribel

got youre bike back yet??

Mr_S 19-Feb-2005 18:14

Err, not yet.

I've spent this morning cleaning bits of it whilst it's on the ramp at Moto Rapido all stripped down. Must have removed a kilo of filth from places you don't normally see...

Steve's got to finish the cam timing this weekend, then service, dyno setup and MOT. The SP conversions finished now, just got the setup left to do.

Oh, and fit my new wheels :)
