Have had a hiccup with a part not fit for purpose.
Have contacted the supplier and we will see how it goes.....
Got the phillip island classic in 6 months so this has really thrown a spanner in the works :(

Cheers, these things happen.
My wife found out I was building a bike from a pile of parts for the PI meet today instead of one of my other racebikes.... not overly impressed to be frank...
She has a fair idea what racing costs....
And what building them costs too....
She has seen it all before...
I had to take her to a baby shop after dropping into the crank rebuilders workshop today and check out a rather expensive pram and give honest feedback and then get her out of the shop without a layby getting done...
